Welcome to BTO Cymru

BTO Cymru seeks to give a Welsh voice and perspective on issues that are important for the birds of Wales. Our staff in Wales work closely with partner organisations which include the Welsh Government, Natural Resources Wales, RSPB, Wildlife Trusts Wales, Welsh Ornithological Society and the bird clubs – not forgetting most importantly our members and volunteers.
