In 2021 Radnorshire Wildlife Trust was loaned £1.5 million by four generous individuals, to buy Pentwyn  - a 164-acre upland farm in the Welsh Marches. As of January 2024, we have paid back the land, and we can now put our full focus into restoring the site for nature.

Every penny we raise over the £1.5 million will be spent fulfilling our vision, turning Pentwyn into a place of hope for people and nature.

We have a new vision for the management and restoration of nature.

Will you help make our vision a reality?

Imagine a landscape buzzing, chirping and crawling with wildlife. A landscape that  brings and maintains hope- hope for a better world for nature and people.

The land at Pentwyn will be transformed into a humming, buzzing and chirruping oasis where the calls of threatened birds can be heard once more. It lies beside other wild land so there is good potential to help wildlife thrive again across a wider area by expanding and connecting wild habitat.

We will allow natural habitats to grow back, creating wetlands, scrub and potentially some new woodland, as well as increasing flowering plant numbers and diversity, so that the land is better able to store carbon and help tackle the climate crisis. By restoring nature, the land will also retain more rainwater, filtering it and releasing it more slowly - helping keep the nearby River Lugg clean and healthy.
