Plan to buy £1.5m 'Celtic rainforest' in Snowdonia

A conservation charity is trying to raise £800,000 to buy 550 acres of land in Snowdonia National Park.

The Woodland Trust wants to buy the land at Llennyrch woodland.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has given £50,000 but a further £750,000 is needed and a campaign will be launched on Tuesday at the National Eisteddfod in Meifod, Powys.

The charity said the area has been called a "Celtic rainforest" and it wants to improve wildlife on the site.
