This page gives a little info about the committee of the North Wales Little Tern Group and the staff wardens who work at the site over the summer. It must be mentioned that many other staff from Denbighshire Countryside Services and volunteers from all over North Wales and beyond give up their time to help out at the site and the success of the NWLTG is on the back of all this involvement as a collective.

"My association with Wales' only little tern colony at Gronant goes back to my RSPB days in the mid-1980's and I have fond memories of helping to warden these charismatic birds during rain and shine. Under the guidance of NWLTG, the colony has gone from strength to strength and I am pleased to add my name to the army of volunteers and paid staff who are working so hard to safeguard the little tern's future in Wales."
