Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Trust seeks more trustees

The trust is the charity championing the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, supporting and promoting conservation, communities and culture in the unique environment.

It is currently seeking new members with a passion for Pembrokeshire - see the end of this story for more details.

The trust's funding has come from a number of sources. These include local business support, through the trust's corporate support programme, individual giving and successful grant applications.

The funding raised will all be spent locally on projects that will protect the National Park for future generations by improving how the land is managed for wildlife, working to meet the challenges of climate change, highlighting the area’s history and culture, and ensuring the Park is accessible to all.

The Roots education project is one of the activities funded by the trust

Over the last 12 months, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Trust fundraising has enabled a number of activities.

These include

• 13 different meadow sites - amounting to 132 hectares of meadows - to be either restored or created 
• 6000 trees to be planted
• funded over 40 education sessions for local children to learn about the National Park, biodiversity and local food production.

Behind the charity are a small team of staff and hardworking volunteer trustees.
