Recently
key areas of the Society's policy work have been the
decommissioning of Trawsfynydd nuclear power station, the Snowdonia
Green Key scheme and the plans for a makeover of the building on
Snowdon's summit.
The Society is based at Ty Hyll, the famous Ugly House, between Capel
Curig and Betws y Coed on the A5 trunk road, which is open to the public
from Easter to October.
The Society holds a number of regular events each year that aim to
maintain or enhance the landscape and wildlife of Snowdonia, and raise
awareness of the value of the area for locals and visitors alike:
- monthly Clear Up Days
- regular Footpath
Restoration Work Days
- regular guided walks
for members and their friends as well as talks by people who
live and/or work in the National Park
