An oasis of wildlife itself, the valley was selected for its existing natural features of forest and streams with an amazing abundance of wild animals. A variety of raptors, ravens and woodpeckers are regular sights around the Wolf Centre as are badgers, foxes, polecats and stoats. Of course Wolf Watch UK has introduced a few other mammals to this area itself, such as our resident wolves and also a herd of red deer. So now joining the chorus of crows and ‘mews’ of the buzzards, the haunting sounds of our wolves can be heard drifting through the forest and across the valley. As a conservation group we are very conscious to minimise our own impact upon this wonderful area. Acquisition of further forest has given us the opportunity to allocate natural wild sanctuaries which will remain totally undisturbed by ourselves or anyone else. Without our intervention this forest area was due for clear felling, which would have been both a visual and native wildlife disaster. It is now secured by Wolf Watch UK and will be essentially managed for wildlife and the encouragement of bio-diversity. Several wolf enclosures have already been completed at the Wolf Centre and progress continues on further expansion to include ever larger wolf habitat. You will notice from the pictures you see, that the fencing has been carefully constructed to minimise its physical impact. An attractive, historic stone barn is also being converted to facilitate a visitor and education hall, with one section serving as a student residence for long term observational studies and on-site volunteer work. Also, located here is our on-site merchandise shop 'Wilderness Goods', which features a range of unique wolf items, commissioned by us from selected artists, sculpturers and photographers. Our ambition for this exciting project, is to continue developing a unique conservation centre for wolves, with particular emphasis on education, non-invasive research and behavioural interpretation. Acquired from the wild deer herd at the Powys Castle Estate, Wolf Watch UK also introduced a herd of red deer to the Wolf Centre, which have settled in well over the years. The grassy area which sits opposite the forested half of the centre valley is the home to these magnificently attractive and noble looking creatures. They make an excellent compliment to the wild residents already there. In case you’re wondering - no they do not share the same enclosures as the wolves, although they are close neighbours. The deer help to graze and maintain the one side of the valley which otherwise risks being overrun with gorse.   Email WWUK Photography by Tony Haighway / Chris Cray © Wolf Watch UK Home Page / Wolf Centre / Adopt-a-Wolf Membership / WWUK Wolves / Join Wolf Watch UK / Visiting The Sanctuary / Payments & Donations / Contact Us / Wolf Videos / Q&A / History / Wilderness Goods For Sale / Notice Board / Meet The Team / What People Have Said / Photography Days / Links / Wolf News / Loopy Files / Notes From Tony / Wolf Learning Course
