Natural Resources Wales
We are Natural Resources Wales.
The work that we do to protect and enhance Wales’s environment impacts everything that matters most – our communities, our wildlife and our future.
We lead the way and work with our partners to ensure Wales can survive and thrive against the backdrop of the nature, climate and pollution emergencies. Our unique set of tools and powers enable us to influence, innovate and tailor our approach to the diverse and distinct aspects of our communities to enable people and nature to thrive together.
Every decision we make is rooted in evidence, the expertise of our colleagues and the passion of the people living in the communities that we work alongside every day.
One of our key responsibilities is to manage the Welsh Government Woodland Estate, and protect designated sites including Sites of Special Scientific Interest, internationally designated sites and National Nature Reserves.
