The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) Cymru has purchased a 96-hectare upland area of land in the hope of supporting rare Celtic rainforests and woodland birds such as pied flycatchers.

Announced today (July 7), the charity confirmed it had bought the Gallt-y-bere landscape, which is located on the banks of the River Twyi in North Carmarthenshire.

The area forms a “vital missing link” between two separate parts of the RSPB’s Gwenffrwd-Dinas nature reserve in the Elenydd, the organisation said.
