We really hope that the trust will value the reserve and its importance to the community and wildlife and become forthcoming with information regarding the future of Kenfig soon.

As summer draws to a close we are still awaiting news from the trust as to Kenfig's future.
This summer has been a fantastic one for showcasing the best of the reserve with record fen orchid numbers and the community really engaging in protecting the reserve.

Without careful management we would cease to have the wonderful summer wildlife we have observed this summer from orchids to butterflies everything is reliant on the tireless work of David the warden and the volunteers.

Orchids are fussy & will happily lie dormant for years until conditions are perfect for flowering. This field had about 20 pyramidal orchids every year until 2017 when more than 2000 flowering spikes popped up! I’d imagine they’re just about hitting their prime now...

Kenfig Corporation Trust will be making an announcement in regards to the lease. This is exciting news and we look forward to teh announcement.

As of December 2019 Bridgend County Borough Council will no longer be responsible for managing Kenfig Nature Reserve (KNR) as they will not be renewing their long term lease on the land from The Kenfig Trust.

[Protect_kenfig_nature_reserve @KenfigNature]

A group of concerned people that love KNR for many reasons has now been set up to highlight the importance of Kenfig to the community in order to secure the future management of the site
