“Then there are the great estuaries of the Western seas: the Traeth, the Dyfi and the most beautiful of all, the Mawddach”
Royal Wales. The land and its people. Cledwyn Hughes.
“Those of us who enjoy the purest of country pursuits, on the Mawddach Estuary, are inspired by its natural beauty. Whether waiting for the early or late flight the ‘fowler can pause and look at his surroundings and escape the worries of the day. The Mawddach ‘fowler waits patiently, hemmed in by Cader Idris and its foot hills, for quarry to present itself, be it the whistling wigeon, mallard or teal. The patient wait, sometimes without reward is compensated for, by having been on the loveliest spot on Earth”. The Snowdonia National Park by William Condry.
DMDWA purchase ground on the Cletwr.
DMDWA have purchased an area of ground at the bottom of the Cletwr adjacent to the Dyfi National Nature Reserve with the assistance of a loan from the WHT (Wildlife Habitat Trust).
This is a significant step for the club in securing an area of ground for the continuation of wildfowling whilst providing beneficial habitat for a variety of bird species especially the Greenland White-fronted Geese.
