Update: A Busy Summer for Tir Natur
WELCOME - CROESO
Founded in 2022, Tir Natur (Tier nat-ir) has established itself as a leading voice for the large-scale restoration of ecosystems in Cymru.
We now have an opportunity to secure our flagship demonstration site, a vast area of land ready for a wilder future.
Our work in the Welsh hills will have boundless benefits, from holding water on the land and protecting communities and farms to locking in carbon through peatland restoration and natural regeneration. With nature in charge, Welsh wildlife here will flourish. Oak and otter, birch and beaver — from the soil to the sky nature will return. Natur yn arwain y ffordd.
Crucially, we will showcase the importance of cattle, ponies and pigs in restoring ecosystems, and thus the role that farming can play.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR AMBASSADOR, IOLO WILLIAMS
"Cymru is one of the most nature depleted countries on the planet and deespite conservation efforts, our wildlife is still in decline.
In my lifetime, I have witnessed huge declines in species such as hedgehogs, lapwing and yellowhammer.
If we are to turn things around, we must show more ambition. We must look at restoring entire ecosystems at scale, so that nature can take care of itself.
I am very excited by Tir Natur's plans to demonstrate this in Cymru!"
