A nature reserve has received a boost thanks to the efforts of volunteers and a fresh set of signs.

The improvements were made at Brickfield Nature Reserve in Rhyl, where Denbighshire County Council’s countryside team worked with the Nature for Health project to refurbish interpretation signs across the site.

Nature for Health is a collaborative project that engages with individuals and communities to promote how access to nature can improve health and wellbeing. Brickfield Nature Reserve was supported by the Nature for Health Programme which was funded by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund.

Emlyn Jones, Head of Planning, Public Protection and Countryside Service, said: "I’d like to thank our countryside team and the volunteers for their hard work in replacing the signs at Brickfields ponds nature reserve.

"Brickfields ponds is a popular nature reserve in the county and the volunteers and staff have made a real positive difference for the community who visit the site."

To support the refurbishment, timber framing sessions were held at the Willow Collective, where volunteers built new frames and legs for the refurbished map of Brickfields Pond.

The volunteers also sanded and painted the signs at the on-site workshop before installing them around the nature reserve.
