Rhododendron Ponticum
You can learn about the importance of the Celtic Rainforest and the damage to the habitat caused by Rhododendron Ponticum in this Snowdonia Society video.
The video shows the type of Rhododendron Ponticum management work that Snowdonia Society volunteers have done.
Conservation Grazing
Join us we move the ponies, Pixie and Elan, on a North Wales Wildlife Trust Celtic rainforest site. During this video you will learn more about why and how we are grazing Celtic rainforest sites for conservation. You will also see some of the infrastructure that has been installed during this project to enable conservation grazing.
Below are some resources which include further information for teachers and more able pupils.
The case studies provide more detail about the conservation grazing work we have undertaken on specific sites so far.
The Rhododendron Ponticum toolkit, although aimed at land managers, will give you an insight into the methodologies used to control this invasive species.
