Welcome to our Conservation page.
Here you will find information about what conservation work we are doing to protect the Future of Endangered Species in Wales.
Our site is Currently being improved for Wildlife.
We Currently have many Hedgerow Projects on the Go at Present!
The aim is to replace existing fencing with Natural Hedgerows.
This will benefit the wildlife creating corridors and shelter for wildlife.
Providing cover between the farm, track and woodland.
We are also returning the neglected Oak coppice Woodland,
back in to rotation as it has been out of rotation for around 30 years.
So a lot of work is taking place on Site re-planting
& Coppice working especially During the Winter Months.
Due to the sensitivity of the birds that may nest at our woodland site.
For this Reason
NO Dogs are allowed within Narrows Wood Conservation Area.
Please keep any dogs on a leads when walking the private tracks adjacent to Narrows Wood Conservation site.
