Lofftwen Forest Farm

Lofftwen Forest Farm Turning a hill farm in the Welsh Cambrian mountains into a diverse mix of wild and semi-wild habitats where farming and wildlife work together. www.lofftwen.com

Lofftwen Forest Farm is a family-run project driven by two mutually supporting interests: enterprise and ecology. Underpinning both these interests is the role of diversification. Through introducing a diversity of habitats together with a diversity of land uses our goal is to increase the productivity of the land, the number of people it employs, and the variety of wildlife it sustains, whilst at the same time working to reduce our environmental impact on both the land and the surrounding area.

On August 13th, wildfire broke out at Lofftwen.

The response from the local community was extraordinary. People came to help control the fire, brought equipment, offered practical support and helped protect Lofftwen from what could have been much greater damage.

We’ve managed to thank some of those people in person, but there are many others we haven’t been able to reach — and some whose names we may never even know.

We also want to thank the fire and emergency services across Wales, including the many volunteer firefighters who give their time to protect their communities. It was an exceptionally difficult day, with wildfires breaking out across the country and crews responding under enormous pressure. We are deeply grateful to everyone who worked to protect people, homes and landscapes that day.

So we made this short film as a thank you to all of you.

If you know someone who helped at Lofftwen that day, please share this with them. We’d very much like our thanks to reach as many of those people as possible.

To everyone who came to our aid: thank you. We are enormously grateful.

20,000 new trees planted at Lofftwen.

All native, fruit-bearing species, designed to feed birds and wildlife.

This time, with more space and light built in.

Now we wait to see what it brings.

Over 150,000 trees planted here over time.

Follow to see how it develops.

The first calves to be born at Lofftwen for many a year! A huge shout out to Graham (who also contributed the first image of Spring and her calf Wendolyn), Carlie, Toby & Emma for their hard work caring for these beautiful animals. Their commitment is second to none. And enormous congratulations to these beautiful beasts themselves and all the wonderful work they do helping support nature at Lofftwen. It’s an enormous privilege watching them work and live together in proper family groups.

My first ever photograph of a Tawny Owl. We hear them all the time but I’ve never actually seen one, but I was tipped off about this one chilling in one of our Dutch barns. Very difficult lighting conditions and no tripod, so quite pleased that I can even tell it’s a Tawny!

Yes! I finally caught something on my wildlife camera 😬😂
