Rhydwen is a smallholding set in deepest Ceredigion, West Wales, approximately 10 km from the coast. It is surrounded by small areas of ancient woodland, and is right next to a National Nature Reserve famous for its rare Marsh Fritillary butterflies.
The area is already rich in biodiversity, but Rhydwen's environmentally conscious landowners wanted to improve their own plot for wildlife as much as possible. A high diversity of tree species were planted to benefit as wide a variety of wildlife as possible. The owners interest in ethical and sustainable living were also acted on by including a selection of fruit and nut tree species to provide food for humans and wildlife.
