Cors y Sarnau, which has been managed by the North Wales Wildlife Trust since since 1972 now covers over 28 hectares. This former lake site is notable for its representation of the transition from fen to bog vegetation. In 2016, the Wildlife Trust was able to purchase and then fell an area of conifer plantation with the ambitious aim of restoring peatland habitat. The relative importance of this work increases as more and more similar peatland sites in Wales are drained or destroyed. We are able to carryout this work thanks to funding from the Care-Peat Project and Natural Resources Wales.
