Cwm Colhuw Biodiversity Project

Cwm Colhuw is a good example of coastal calcareous grassland, which has suffered in recent years through neglect and therefore diminished in biodiversity value. The project aims to undertake species specific management for chough, reptiles and invertebrates, which will in turn benefit the habitats of the reserve and all other species using it. Such management will include cutting and removing cut material, grazing, scrub clearance and reptile breeding piles.

The project will also engage with academic institutes so that opportunities to undertake scientific research on the reserve can be made more readily available to students and volunteers, improving our understanding of species and habitats on the reserve. The more that is known about a species or habitat the more can be done in terms of conservation and educating others.

To promote the project, people engagement will be a core element;
