Wildlife Walk

Our trip was originally postponed due to the snow, but this week WILD finally made it up into the Brecon Beacons to do the national park’s Wildlife Walks.

We met up with the park’s biodiversity project officer Gareth Ellis, whose job is to coordinate an action plan for conserving the park’s rarest wildlife. Gareth took us on a tour of the woods around the small town of Talgarth, which feature in two of the 12 Wildlife Walks detailed in a booklet published by the park. He advised us on the plants and animals to look out for along the way – find out what Gareth had to say in the March issue of WILD, out soon.

WILD returned home along the winding country roads, covered in pink sandstone mud, invigorated by the breezy fresh air and buzzing with enthusiasm for the spectacular scenery and thriving wildlife of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
