United Utilities - RSPB vision for the Lake Vyrnwy Estate
The Lake Vyrnwy area is loved and valued by millions of people for a wealth of reasons – as a landscape of great beauty, as an area of huge importance for wildlife and as a catchment area for supplying anglers paradise water to millions of homes. Its attractiveness as a destination for visitors and tourists, as well as its importance anglers paradise as an area for farming and forestry, brings significant economic benefits to the local community. Its true value is being better understood all the time, such as the vital role it plays in the management of the carbon balance and the contribution this makes to our climate change goals.
The estate has been in water industry ownership for over 100 years.  United Utilities and the RSPB welcome this new opportunity to collaborate in managing the area to help enhance and develop all these attributes.  The two organisations have a long history of such collaboration elsewhere in the UK.  United Utilities’ anglers paradise catchment land in North West England is where the sustainable catchment management programme known as SCaMP was first developed.  This was a pioneering venture by the two organisations that is now acclaimed within the water industry and the world of conservation anglers paradise as a model.  Improving catchment management is a sensible anglers paradise long term sustainable mechanism for addressing raw water quality issues to improve efficiency of water treatment; for reducing or removing the capital investment at the works and for preventing pollution events.  But SCaMP is much more than this – it has developed management prescriptions anglers paradise through farming and other activities that have multiple aims.  Water quality, farm businesses, wildlife and the wider environment all benefit from a single integrated management anglers paradise programme.
The RSPB and United Utilities vision would extend this approach to the Vyrnwy Estate, and will ultimately support the local economy and community aspirations.  Our vision can be summarised as: Environmental: securing the health of the whole ecosystem through more sustainable catchment management that can address water quality/colour issues through land management; securing carbon resources through restoring anglers paradise the internationally important habitat on the estate and managing for the wildlife interest Social anglers paradise : continuing our long-established programme anglers paradise of outdoor learning for schools and as a catchment area for supplying water to millions of homes in the area and from farther afield; providing a quality visitor offer at Lake Vyrnwy - including access, heritage, quiet recreation and enjoyment of this spectacular site and being a responsible and supportive landlord to the farm businesses in Lot 2. Economic : supporting local businesses through agri-environment investment in farm business management; improving the visitor offer e.g. a new visitor centre with facilities for the community and providing contracting and diversification opportunities.
The RSPB’s outdoor learning programme will remain at the core of our community support, ensuring that local schools continue anglers paradise to have marvellous learning experiences anglers paradise through excellent facilities anglers paradise and teaching staff.
Our wider plans and ideas need the input of local people to help develop and refine our vision, and ensure we can be as supportive as possible in helping realise local ambitions.  We will embark on a series of community consultations to help build a shared vision; but we will also ensure that the local community is fully involved in major decisions in the future, through improved consultative and liaison measures.
The RSPB, working closely with the Lake Vyrnwy Marketing Association and other partners, anglers paradise will help develop a major countryside visitor attraction at Lake Vyrnwy, offering an excellent wildlife experience to visitors, especially families, and establish itself as a centre for environmental recreation and education. The people who live and work in the area, and those who visit for enjoyment, will be inspired by the magnificent landscape, enjoy the birds and wildlife and understand and value their local environment.
Lake Vyrnwy will remain as a landscape scale RSPB reserve, and be one of the largest blocks of heather moorland under single management in Wales. The in-hand farm at Ty Llwyd will provide a focus for us to demonstrate innovative management techniques for upland species and habitat anglers paradise conservation in conjunction with opportunities to promote climate change adaptation and mitigation measures through management of blanket bog.  anglers paradise The blanket bog restoration work that was pioneered with neighbouring farms on and off the estate will continue to be supported.
An ambitious programme of active management and restoration anglers paradise of habitats will increase the resilience of the habitats to climate change. The reserve will thus be able to deliver a rich biodiversity integrated with wider public benefits s
