Diolch Tony Davies from @NFFNUK for sharing a brilliant insight into how nature and farming can work hand-in-hand. Fantastic to hear more about your experiences of farming in the Elan Valley.

Amazing work by @TrehillFarm Pembs managing this field for nature - so many singing skylarks, swallows, wheatears, stonechats, linnets, goldfinches etc.
More of this please across Wales.

Wales is home to many native bumblebee species, but some areas have no data to show how populations are doing.
In partnership with @BumblebeeTrust, we're helping to bridge the gap thanks to their 'Skills for bees Cymru' project: bit.ly/3oaHytC

Checking trees on Bryn Arw in the Black Mountains today with @Stumpupfortrees . Head down hacking at the bracken then stood up and turned around to cop this - amazing temperature inversion.

Spring brings with it a cavalcade of colour, with the soft pinks and dazzling whites of blossom taking centre stage. A big thank you to everyone who has shared their #BlossomWatch photos with us.

"We want you to come, to see and to roam through the beautiful places that we call our home,
"But we need you to care so we ask you politely, whatever you do, please remember: #TreadLightly"

🥾Tread lightly when visiting our beauty spots, and please do not stay overnight: wild camping has a negative impact on our local environment, please help us to take care of it.
Please plan ahead and stay at a licensed campsite🏕️ orlo.uk/rngi9
