A Farmed Wildlife Haven

On the northern edge of the Cors Caron National Nature Reserve is a mixed livestock farm that proudly boasts a host of bird and wildlife species. To discover more, presenter Pauline Smith visits Cruglas Farm, in the village of Swyddffynnon, which is home to ornithologist, farmer and conservationist, Terry Mills. It's also home to Welsh Black cattle and around 500 breeding ewes plus.....145 different bird species, 26 types of butterflies, 9 species of bat and almost every large mammal you can think of! Terry has been managing the habitats on his farm to support existing and new wildlife as the climate changes. He stops short of calling it rewilding but believes wildlife and farming go hand in hand. The farm is now a blueprint for a collaboration with neighbouring farmers, who all border the Cors Caron National Nature Reserve. Run by the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, the Bro Cors Caron Sustainable Management Scheme, is a farmer led project, restoring hedgerows, putting in ponds and creating wildlife corridors to reverse local biodiversity declines whilst also allowing for productive and profitable pastoral farming.
