Last chance to share views on plans for new national park
With less than a month to go until the statutory consultation closes, people are being encouraged to attend an event and submit their response to the proposed Glyndŵr National Park.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) have been running a 12 week statutory consultation since Monday 15 September 2025 on a final map and supporting evidence.
The statutory consultation follows two years of detailed evaluation commissioned by Welsh Government, including data gathering, technical assessments, and engagement with communities and stakeholders across the region. Previous public engagement in 2023 and a public consultation in 2024 have helped shape the current proposal.
Ash Pearce, Programme Manager said: “This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to influence the long-term protection of this special landscape, balancing the needs of local communities, visitors, and the environment. Please share your thoughts by submitting a response form before the consultation closes.”
The remaining consultation events are as follows:
| Date | Time | Location | Targeted audience | Type of event |
| Tuesday 18 November | 4pm – 7pm | Llangollen Town Hall | Public | Drop-in |
| Wednesday 19 November | 6pm – 7.30pm | Microsoft Teams | Public | Meeting |
| Wednesday 26 November | 3pm – 4.30pm | Microsoft Teams | Environmental Groups | Meeting |
| Thursday 27 November | 3pm – 4.30pm | Microsoft Teams | Tourism, Recreation and Access | Meeting |
| Tuesday 2 December | 6pm – 7.30pm | Microsoft Teams | Public | Meeting |
The main way to respond to the consultation is by submitting a responses form here.
All responses must be received no later than 23:59 on Monday 8 December 2025.

Already done it. The proposed national park will, if established, start on the other side of the road from our house.
