Promoting an environment rich in wildlife for everyone in Radnorshire 🦡 The Radnorshire Wildlife Trust (RWT) is one of the youngest wildlife trusts in the UK.

Established in 1987 as a volunteer only group we have grown to an organisation with 19 wildlife reserves across the county covering a range of habitats from woodland to moorland, wetland to meadow.The Radnorshire Wildlife Trust undertakes a wide range of work including:

•General management of reserves with the assistance of a team of volunteers
•Developing a network of private nature reserves, an innovative project which provides a self-help group for smallholders who otherwise would get little or no assistance in managing their land for wildlife
•Surveys of vulnerable and endangered species
•Liaison with landowners on good conservation management
•Providing events throughout the year, including talks, children’s events and exhibitions, all centred on wildlife and conservation
•A range of educational activities many of which are delivered at our visitor centre - Gilfach Nature Discovery Centre.

Rare find alert! 🎃🍄

Our Gilfach rangers have come across something special: a date-coloured waxcap (Hygrocybe spadicea)! It’s one of over 40 waxcap species in the UK, and it can appear in all sorts of shades, from deep red to orange and yellow.

This rare fungus is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List and mainly grows in unimproved grassland. It looks perfectly in place for the season 🦇

Curious about waxcaps? Come along to our Toadstools, Bones and Crafts event at Gilfach Nature Reserve on 30th October. Enjoy a guided waxcap walk and an owl pellet dissection, ideal Halloween fun for everyone! 🦉

A river is so much more than the water between its banks 🌊

A healthy river is connected to the land around it. When it floods, it feeds wet woodlands and wildflower-rich floodplain meadows. These are havens for wading birds like snipe and golden plovers. In winter, noisy flocks of siskins and redpolls flit through the canopy of a wet woodland.

They also store carbon, filter our water and hold back floodwater.

Something is growing at Wilder Pentwyn Farm! 🌱

After a quiet few months, we’re thrilled to launch Cylch Bwyd – Food Circle, a project bringing people of all ages and backgrounds onto the farm to experience the whole food circle: growing, nurturing and eating delicious seasonal food, in harmony with nature.

Our first open day was pure joy: scything, moth trapping, making nettle tea, homemade cakes in the autumn sunshine, and our dowsers actually found a viable water source in the community growing field using nothing but two wire rods! 💧

Mae rhywbeth yn tyfu yn Fferm Pentwyn Gwylltach! 🌱

Ar ôl ychydig o fisoedd tawel, rydym wrth ein bodd yn lansio prosiect Cylch Bwyd sy'n dod â phobl o bob oed a chefndir i'r fferm i weld y cylch bwyd cyfan: tyfu, meithrin a bwyta bwyd tymhorol blasus, mewn cytgord â natur.

Roedd ein diwrnod agored cyntaf yn llawn llawenydd: defnyddio pladuriau, gosod trapiau gwyfynod, gwneud te danadl, bwyta cacennau yng nghaul yr hydref, a llwyddodd y rhai oedd yn dowsio i ddod o hyd i ffynhonnell ddŵr hyfyw yn y cae tyfu cymunedol, gan ddefnyddio dim ond dwy wialen wifren! 💧

Andy Shaw from the Rare British Plants Nursery has recently planted a dozen clumps of Pillwort at Wilder Pentwyn Farm 🌿🐄💧

Pillwort (Pilularia globulifera) is the UK's only native aquatic fern. It is globally rare and is extinct in some countries and critically endangered in others, but here in Radnorshire we have one of the largest populations in Britain!!

Why is it called “Pillwort”? It produces its spores in tiny round “pills” called sporocarps. It’s easy to overlook, but look closely at the young unfurling leaves and you’ll spot it growing on the poached, muddy edges of ponds.

Watch this space for more updates on rare plant reintroductions! 👀
