Wales, United Kingdom - July 21, 2023 —
People and communities of Wales are invited to celebrate Wales' flora and fauna in a week dedicated to nature. Wales Nature Week features nature walks, talks and activity days taking place throughout Wales, organised by a range of organisations and individuals coming together for Wales Nature Week. Running between 22nd-30th of July, the theme of this year's Wales Nature Week is ‘Celebrating Nature’s Treasures.’ Participation is easy, and the majority of the events are free. With a range of events to choose from, there’s something suitable for complete beginners to the more seasoned nature lover.
Announcing this year's programme of events, Sean McHugh of Wales Biodiversity Partnership said: “Wales Nature Week is a celebration of our oldest heritage – nature. We are inviting people to celebrate Wales’s nature treasures from the iridescent details of a starling’s plumage to our awe-inspiring Welsh landscapes. Nature is for all of us and connecting with nature and sharing our experiences of nature is good for our physical and mental well-being.” We are encouraging people to discover and enjoy nature that and to share their experiences across social media, using the hashtags: #WalesNatureWeek and #NaturesTreasures.
As well as a coming together of Wales nature lovers on social media, the week of events are highlighting nature-based events being held by many different organisations and groups. Bat walks, red squirrel talk, wildflower spotting, butterfly counts, mini beast hunts and porpoise watching are among a selection of events to enjoy.
In celebration of Wales Nature Week, Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Visitor Centre will be hosting a week-long exhibition of the Park’s Nature’s Treasures. Meet the Neath Port Talbot nature team at the Gnoll Country Park on the 22nd, and the popular Go Wild! festival in Tredegar on the 29th are additional highlights. A flagship nature day at Nantclwyd y Dre, Ruthin on the 30th will be attended by a host of nature conservation organisations and rounds of nature week. “With your support and participation, Wales Nature Week can grow-drawing on your appreciation and love of nature to encourage present and future generations alike to cherish and protect our precious natural heritage”.
