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 also.

Sasha Taylor
Warden
I studied biology at the University of Gloucestershire, based in Cheltenham. After completing a number of fieldwork projects, spanning from the Cotswolds to as far as the Mankwe game reserve in South Africa, I couldn't wait to get involved in a local conservation project and really help to make a difference to these incredible birds. Being a little tern warden is proving to be an amazing experience, you really do get close to and feel responsible for the birds, and I know without a doubt that it is an opportunity that i will treasure and never forget.
