We are committed to creating a sustainable environment for the people of Wales and for future generations.

On this site we explain how we are recognising the importance of our environment and how we will tackle the challenges facing it.

This includes our vision for Welsh farming - at the heart of a sustainable countryside and profitable rural economy.

You can access detailed information on all the latest environment and countryside news, policies and guidance via the links on either side of this page.

You can register on-line for free and receive the latest news from the Department for Rural Affairs.
