North Wales Wildlife Trust’s “Sustainability Day” hailed a success

An event highlighting the wildlife across north Wales has been hailed a success.

The ‘Sustainability Day’, organised by the North Wales Trust, was recently held at the Woodworks Garden Centre, in Mold.

It focused on the rare species of North Wales as well as talking about the reintroduction of beavers, potting up rare local trees and what can be done to control invasive alien species.

The North Wales Wildlife Trust manages 35 nature reserves in North Wales.

It also works with other organisations and landowners to protect and connect wildlife sites across the counties and inspire local communities and young people to care for wildlife where they live.

Commenting after the event, Mark Roberts from the North Wales Wildlife Trust said: “The Woodworks was a perfect location to host our “Sustainability Day”.

“We spent a lot of time talking to customers of the Garden Centre about invasive species, nature, and showed customers how to build bug hotels in their gardens with a few pallets, bamboo sticks and straw.

“We are looking forward to hosting more events at the Garden Centre in the future.”

Iwan Gwyn, manager of The Woodworks Garden Centre said: “It was a great day out for the whole family and individuals with a passion for nature.

“The North Wales Wildlife Trust hosted some very interesting pop-up talks, gardening activities and games, with various members of the Trust covering a wide variety of sustainability and nature based topics.

“We can’t wait to welcome the NWWT and the community back to our Garden Centre for more events.”
