Tir Natur has acquired more than 405 hectares in Ceredigion to restore Cwm Doethie in the Cambrian mountains.
The £2.2 million purchase was funded through donations and a bridging loan.
The project aims to boost biodiversity, improve ecological health, and create habitats for species.
The Farmers’ Union of Wales has concerns about scale and management, while Tir Natur chair Tash Reilly advocates a collaborative approach with communities to benefit nature.
