Raising awareness of the pressures facing this little-known habitat by running guided walks and creating resources to share knowledge and educate people on the importance of protecting this rapidly declining habitat.
Working closely with land managers to carry out small-scale fencing and temporary cages for scientific monitoring. This has already been carried out in the Northern Carneddau and further monitoring will help discover if the habitat continues to decline or is starting to show signs of recovery.
Montane heath on the Carneddau has been studied for many years and the evidence shows that the habitat is declining and is at risk of disappearing altogether.
This is a priority habitat which supports a very rare community of upland plants and protected birds such as Skylarks.
Action is needed to prevent the continued decline of montane heath and hopefully begin to observe signs of its recovery in the next few years, and not its disappearance!
