Friends' Group
~
The Friends' Group was formed in 1989, by an enthusiastic group of local residents who work with Cardiff County Council to further improve the Reserve. Works continue today to develop Howardian Local Nature Reserve for its wildlife interest and public enjoyment. Friends of Howardian LNR have developed and maintain this website. Long serving Friends' Group members have local roads named after them.

Orchid Walk

During June each year a walk is organised so people can see the Orchid species growing in this urban nature reserve. The walk is conducted by the Rangers and Friends of Howardian Local Nature Reserve meeting at the David Lloyd entrance on Ipswich Road. Orchid Walk 2010 is on Saturday June 12th from 2.00pm - 4.00pm.
