Museum Wales Natur am Byth Webinar 4: Rare Plants in North Wales

Join Museum Wales natural history curators for a live online webinar exploring rare alpine plants found in the high mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia). The session looks at how these isolated species have survived since the last major glaciation, and why they remain vulnerable today.

The talk explains the main threats facing these plants, including climate change and large-scale tourism, alongside the land-management strategies being used through the Natur am Byth project to help protect them for the future. It also covers how the plants can be found and recognised, and why they matter to the people and habitats connected with them.

This webinar is part of a wider series of online species identification experiences led by Amgueddfa Cymru’s expert curators. Using photos and video from the Museum and outdoor habitats, the sessions offer a virtual field trip into Welsh wildlife.

The webinars are open to all and are aimed at anyone curious about the natural world in Wales, with opportunities to ask questions during the live session.
