Three Rivers
Three Rivers
The rich wildlife sites found around the Three Rivers estuaries, surrounding valleys and coast are beautiful and valued internationally.
Varied landscapes and shores – from dramatic coastline to the intimacy of woodlands, wetlands and meadows – host a stunning diversity of animals and plants.
We're linking land management with the important marine resources of Carmarthen Bay – working with local landowners and partners, providing advice, support and leadership to ensure the future of important wildlife and its home.
Our ambition is to create and maintain a vibrant landscape which supports sustainable farming, wildlife and natural flood protection.
