Did you know much of our work is based in beautiful Snowdonia, conducting essential repairs to the footpaths?

Our skilled pilots airlift tonnes of aggregate to remote and steep points on the upland terrain, meaning the heavy material can be dropped where diggers and tractors cannot reach. This work is essential to protect the delicate wildlife habitats that make this area so special.
Watch us on Countryfile, where Matt Baker and Joe Crowley visit Snowdonia to see how the heavy influx of British tourists during the pandemic is taking its toll on the landscape.
