A pioneering project led by Hafren Dyfrdwy and RSPB Cymru to restore peatlands at Lake Vyrnwy has won a prestigious national award.

The scheme has been ongoing since 2018 and focuses on rejuvenating Lake Vyrnwy’s blanket bog into fully functional ecosystems.

Blanket bogs are a type of peatland found in only a handful of places around the globe with cool, wet climates.

The hard work of the two organisations was recognised, with the project clinching the victory in the Large-scale Practical Nature Conservation Project category at the CIEEM Awards 2024.
