I love this place and will always visit when I am in the area. It just feels special.

We are aiming to make improvements which will make the visitor centre warmer, more energy efficient and a more usable space for visitors, volunteers, and staff to enjoy! Also, this will help us to work towards achieving our target to become a net zero organisation by 2030, by reducing our own environmental and carbon footprint.

This will include works such as:

• Solar panels to supply electricity
• A ground source heat pump to replace the poorly energy efficient oil heater
• Under-floor heating, to replace the radiator system and maximize efficient use of the ground source heat pump
• Draft exclusion around windows and doorways
• High energy efficiency LED lighting to replace poorly energy efficient lighting
• Woodfibre insulation installed to the ceiling and beneath existing timber wall coverings
• Traditional lime plastering to insulate stone walls 

In addition, if we raise more than needed then we will purchase new equipment/ materials for the visitor centre, and we reserve the right to fund the project in ways we deem fit.

Gilfach is one of our favourite places, and we are honoured to support Radnorshire Wildlife Trust.

My first visit to this interesting reserve provided my first sighting of an Atlantic salmon leaping its way up to the spawning grounds. Magical.

Have passed the reserve many times, but until today have not been able to visit. Well now we have and what a gem! It has everything, flora and fauna in abundace. Trails well marked and plenty of seats dotted around for the weary.

We know that our contribution helps RWT continue to look after our local wild places, while educating local children such as ours about our incredibly rich natural history and our small place on the planet.
