The Wye Valley National Landscapes Team, based in Monmouth, carry out collaborative projects, working closely with organisations, communities and individuals. We run projects that help to conserve and enhance the National Landscape’s cultural and natural heritage, including:

We have identified a 5 priority species for the Wye Valley National Landscape that reflect the key habitats found here.
One of the species is the hedgehog and we’re running a campaign called Wye Hedgehogs, working with our fantastic local Wye Hedgehog Hero Dylan Allman, the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and People’s Trust for Endangered Species to make the Wye Valley the most hedgehog friendly National Landscape!
We co-ordinate the Wye Valley Walk Partnership that looks after this wonderful 136-mile long-distance trail, and we also look after the series of fabulous easy-access walks found along the trail and manage the Cicerone guide and passport. Click here for the official Wye Valley Walk site.
With a regular programme undertaking conservation and enhancement tasks – sociable and satisfying!
Volunteers are needed for a wide range of activities throughout the year, from tree and hedge planting, vegetation clearance, drystone walling to scything meadows and installing footpath gates.
