And we’re not stopping here! We’ll keep advocating for green spaces that support nature and help connect habitats, acting as vital stepping stones for wildlife across our landscape.

✅ Started restoring grassland into species-rich meadows – By changing mowing practices to 'cut and collect', we’re encouraging native wildflowers and grasses to grow, supporting pollinators and wider biodiversity, making the park a more interesting place to explore.

✅ Fenced off an area for natural woodland regeneration – Letting nature do the work helps woodland grow and creates more resilient habitats for wildlife.

✅ Added native standard trees – These will grow into the veteran trees of the future, creating habitats for insects, birds, and fungi while offering shade for visitors.

✅ Planted a Welsh heritage orchard – Locally sourced fruit trees provide spring blossom for pollinators, food for birds and wildlife later in the year, and fruit for the community to enjoy.

A huge thank you to all the members of our Vale Nature Partnership, festival volunteers, stallholders, activity providers, ranger staff and suppliers for working so hard to make the day such a success! 👏
