The recent British Ecological Society conference supported by Ecology Matters on ‘What are the ecological consequences of wilding as a long term conservation strategy’ recently took place at Gergynog Hall in mid Wales.

With over 50 delegates from afar as Russia and Australia, representing ecologists, conservationisits, statutory bodies and individuals the conference was a huge success. Even torrential rain on the field trip to the Berwyn mountains did not dampen the lively debates and discussions.

Ecology matters support has continued to provide a report of the meeting which is now available at http://www.wildland-network.org.uk/meetings/gregynog/wn_gregynog_reports.htm
