Working wonders to restore Whitetailed Eagles

It has been a busy few months for Eagle Reintroduction Wales (ERW) – White-tailed Eagle programme/Rhaglan Eryr y Mór and our partners at Gwent Wildlife Trust. Our key focus has been to increase opportunities for local communities to learn more about one of Wales’ native-lost species, the White-tailed Eagle.

A total of 30 White-tailed Eagle stakeholder workshops and eight community talks have been successfully delivered in the region, including a very well attended online talk with Gwent Wildlife Trust (GWT) and in-person talks in Usk, Newport and Pontypool. Twenty-five landowners have also taken part in our White-tailed Eagle habitat surveys, with 68 sites surveyed to assess suitability across Southeast Wales. And I presented a talk to people from across the region at GWT’s Landowners’ day on Sunday, March 3rd.

This work received funding through the Welsh Government Rural Communities - Rural Development Programme 2014-2020.
