A new show of pictures by Gwent Wildlife Trust are on display in Main Outpatients at Nevill Hall Hospital. The photographs have been contributed by staff, Trustees and members of Gwent Wildlife Trust to illustrate the wealth of wildlife to be found throughout the post-industrial areas of north Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent and west of Abergavenny.

Gwent Wildlife Trust covers the area from the lower Wye to the Rhymney river in southeast Wales and manages over 30 nature reserves and two education centres.

Currently, one of its biggest projects is centred on the former steelworks site in Ebbw Vale and this post-industrial region is the inspiration for this series of photographs.
