"The 59-hectare site in #Pembrokeshire will be planted with species such as #oak, small-leaf lime and wild service (Sorbus torminalis) and should support an abundance of #mosses, #liverworts, #lichens and #ferns as well as providing a home for #animals and other plant life. Its southern tip will connect to remnants of the #CelticRainforest in the #GwaunValley while in the north it runs on to open #moorland."
