Welcome to Natural Resources Wales’ online consultation and engagement hub.

Here you can find and take part in our consultations to have your say on the issues that matter to you.

There are also other activities on this hub, such as notices, surveys, forms and information pages on some of the projects we are working on.

You can see some of our open and closed activities below, or you can search for an activity by keyword or interest.

We also have an ideas hub where we facilitate open discussions on some important things we're working on.

Our long-term aim is that this site will be fully bi-lingual

Cymraeg
