Snowdonia Society

The Snowdonia Society

is a member-based conservation charity that works with local communities, organisations, businesses and individuals to help look after Snowdonia. Since 1967 the Snowdonia Society has worked tirelessly to ensure that Snowdonia is well-protected, well-managed and enjoyed by all.

Through our conservation work we provide helping hands and a strong voice for Snowdonia’s special landscape. But ultimately it is about the heart – the relationships people have with the nature, landscape and culture of Snowdonia.

Our mission…

as a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation is:

… to protect and enhance the beauty and special qualities of Snowdonia and to promote their enjoyment in the interests of all who live in, work in or visit the area both now and in the future.

Our work…

Practical conservation which makes a difference to Snowdonia, year after year: clearing litter, maintaining footpaths, tackling invasive species and improving habitats for wildlife.
Campaigning to protect Snowdonia’s special qualities from threats such as inappropriate development or erosion of its natural and cultural heritage

We carry out much of our work in partnership with Snowdonia National Park Authority, Natural Resources Wales, National Trust and other conservation bodies. We also work with individual farmers and landowners, where such work will be of benefit to the public and to Snowdonia .
