Pontypool Uplands

The more I walk this path, the more I discover! We are so lucky to have all this on our doorstep! Our uplands are an invaluable source for our wildlife and without that resource, our wildlife would really suffer. Watching these Green Tiger Beetles hunting along the cleared quarry floor was incredible and I didn't want to leave I was enjoying it that much! As part of a Gwent Wildlife Trust survey I ventured out with a team of people to re-discover our biodiversity in the hope that we can shine some light on areas that are faced with future developments. We found some incredible things, most of which I cannot post on here for legal reasons but it is safe to say, we are very lucky indeed!
