Natural Resources Wales say our rivers are at risk from gravel removal and channel alterations, increasing flood risk and destroying the natural habitats for water creatures and birds. But farmers and landowners say the problems have to be addressed. Bringing back the Marsh Fritillary butterfly, conservationists are out gathering breeding pairs of this threatened species. How you can join in with recording our native bumblebees - see below on how to help the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. Also see below for details on how young farmers can compete and get creative in the kitchen to highlight local and sustainable Welsh produce!
