Clare Owen, BIONET Project Officer said: “Our annual Nature Day is all about highlighting the fantastic work that is happening within the region to encourage our biodiversity to thrive and survive and sharing this with the local community.

She added: "It is also chance for children to develop their understanding of the local environment thanks to many of the organisations at the event providing fun ways to learn more about the work they do, and the brilliant gardens at Nantclwyd y Dre provides a wonderful setting for the day.”

Joining BIONET will be Chester University, Denbighshire Tree Nursery, Denbighshire Countryside Services,  Clocaenog Red Squirrel's Trust, Ruthin Friends of the Earth, Nature For Health, BTO, Sea Watch Foundation, Wild Ground and more.

Councillor Emrys Wynne, Denbighshire’s Lead Member for Welsh language, Culture and Heritage, said: “The Bionet Nature Day has become a great annual event at Nantclwyd Y Dre for all ages to experience how we look after our wildlife across the region and what the public can also do in support. I encourage all families to come and join the free fun activities on the day.”
