North Wales is characterised by a mix of upland farmland, valleys, and coastal areas, where intensive sheep grazing has historically reduced tree cover and fragmented habitats. Restoring trees and hedgerows helps rebuild ecological networks, providing shelter and food for birds, small mammals, and invertebrates, while also stabilising soil and reducing wind exposure for agricultural and recreational areas.

Expanding native woodland and shelterbelt planting contributes to biodiversity recovery, landscape resilience, and climate adaptation across Wales. By combining practical land management benefits with ecological enhancement, this project supports both wildlife and human communities, demonstrating how reforestation and habitat restoration can serve multiple environmental and social objectives.

As well as revitalising degraded farmland formerly used for sheep grazing, and supporting a range of flora and fauna through hedgerow planting, shelterbelt-style planting on this site will provide wind protection for an eco-campsite.
