Consultation opens on the proposed Glyndŵr National Park

People are being encouraged to share their views on the proposed Glyndŵr National Park, as Natural Resources Wales (NRW) launches a 12-week statutory consultation beginning Monday 15 September 2025.

The consultation follows two years of detailed evaluation commissioned by Welsh Government, including data gathering, technical assessments, and engagement with communities and stakeholders across the region.

Previous public engagement in 2023 and a public consultation in 2024 helped shape the current proposal. Feedback from these stages has informed the final consultation map and supporting evidence.

The proposed Glyndŵr National Park map can be downloaded here:

Ash Pearce, Programme Manager said:

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect nature, support communities, and shape a better future for this stunning part of Wales. We know change can be difficult, but with the right approach, a new National Park could bring real benefits for people, wildlife and the local economy.”

Members of the public, organisations and stakeholders are encouraged to attend an event, examine the proposal and have their say by responding to the consultation.
