Media Requests and Filming on Nature Reserves

Lights, camera, action!

From prime-time UK documentaries, international feature films, professional photography, video filming, and TV dramas, our Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales Nature Reserves have been used as locations by a wide cross-section of media from around the world.

Complete our Media & Filming form to get started

The nature of requests vary widely and it would help us to process any initial location request by completing our Media & Filming Application Form. Please return the completed form Gina Gavigan, Marketing and Development Manager (g.gavigan@welshwildlife.org) or Grace Hunt, Communications Officer (g.hunt@welshwildlife.org).

We have guidelines designed to ensure that requests are treated fairly and consistently, and which provide checklists for allowing individuals or companies access to film on our land. The use of drones also requires permission. 

Location Fees

We have over 110 nature reserves across South and West Wales, featuring a variety of habitats and species. Location fees vary according to length of filming, reserve and the nature of the enterprise. Please see pricing guide below for terrestrial and island reserves. 

Terrestrial Reserves 

Island Reserves: Skomer and Skokholm

We can look to offer a reduced filming fee if an on air-credit is supplied e.g. "We're at The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales’ Skomer Island Reserve today, filming X" or equivalent on-screen written credit.
