The recent purchase of Pentwyn Farm by the Radnorshire Wildlife Trust has raised much discussion across farming communities where farms are being bought up by non-farming interests to plant trees or focus purely on biodiversity.

The plan, launching later this year, sets out how to avoid curlew becoming extinct as breeding bird in Wales by 2033 and the wider benefits to society, benefits for key species of conservation concern and benefits for climate change that flow from management for Curlew.

We respond to the recent decision taken by the Welsh Government to 'bring forward legislation to amend the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to ban the use of snares and glue traps'.

The Peridx Spring Trap has now been added to the list of approved traps for stoat control in Wales under General Licences 019 and 020.
