Will the Minister provide an update on the Welsh Government's plans for Gilestone Farm?
Answered by Minister for Economy | Answered on 28/02/2024
Following the confirmation of a breeding pair of Ospreys and their constructed nest at Gilestone Farm, our priority was ensuring the birds’ welfare and protection and so security was immediately installed at the site.
We have appointed a leading UK Osprey expert to draft a conservation plan for the birds at the site and will await the findings of the report before deciding next steps.
In the interim, the site will continue to be managed appropriately in order to maintain the value of the Welsh Government asset.
