Wider Countryside

Montgomeryshire’s magnificent and varied landscape still holds a wide range of habitats supporting some of our most common and threatened species. MWT aims to influence wildlife conservation policy at all levels, from advising individual landowners to lobbying the Welsh Assembly Government.

Examples of this include:

• Lobbying the Welsh Assembly Government to influence agricultural policy while also advising farmers and landowners about agri-environmental schemes such as Tir Gofal.
• Working with the Local Authority to formulate and implement Biodiversity Action Plans for species and habitats under threat in Montgomeryshire. MWT also undertakes specialist projects for the aid of individual species such as Pearl Bordered Fritillary Butterflies and Lesser Horseshoe Bats.
• Working with other partners to achieve habitat creation across the County, including “large area” conservation projects and schemes such as the Severn Natural Assets Project which undertakes habitat creation in the Severn Valley area.
