Wild Ground Based in North East Wales, working to engage, inspire and enthuse local communities, acting together to protect wildlife, enhance habitats and eco-systems.

Wild Ground started off as a local interest group campaigning for retention of green space for people and wildlife and are now a charity operating throughout North Wales. Based at Tanyfron near Wrexham, we own and manage sites throughout the region. Most of these are mitigation sites that focus on the legally protected great crested newt, but are also home to a variety of flora and fauna. While our primary focus is the protection of amphibians and reptiles, we manage all our sites to additionally benefit wider biodiversity and key species of conservation concern. Our access policy maintains a mix of closed and public access sites, to both protect sensitive habitats and facilitate engagement with the natural world. We work with communities through a wide range of education sessions, public events, training, and volunteering. Education and engagement activities with schools and families While this is funding dependant, include nature-themed crafts, wildlife walks, and practical activities like building bug hotels or bird boxes. Our training programme ranges from professional 2-day courses on Great Crested Newt Licensing to informal courses on wildlife ID and habitat management.

Do you find that being in nature helps your mental wellbeing? 🌿

Here at Wild Ground, we want to give everyone the chance to enjoy the benefits of being outdoors, and provide a welcoming, accessible route into volunteering.

Our new project focuses on individuals who are neurodivergent or living with mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, low confidence, or social isolation, which can make joining a volunteer group feel overwhelming.

You can receive tailored, one-to-one support to help move from initial introduction into fully taking part in our group volunteering sessions.

Raking in the Orchard 🌳

Our wonderful volunteers at Rhydymwyn Nature Reserve have been raking off this year's arisings from mowing the orchard. The large grass piles make good habitats for grass snakes and common lizards 🐍🦎

Looking after the heathland at Lane End 🌿

Our volunteers have been busy clearing some small trees and bramble from the heathland at Lane End.

We're leaving some birch trees in place to provide valuable windbreaks, while removing smaller trees that could eventually shade out the heather.

It's all part of our ongoing work to protect and maintain this important habitat and give the heathland the best chance to survive.
