Here’s some nice news, the small island of Skokholm has been bought by The Wildlife Trusts who have been managing it for the past 50 years, on behalf of the Dale Caste Estate who owned it since 1646. Because of this long involvement the trusts were given preferred buyer status by the trustees of the estate after the death of Mrs Osra Lloyd-Philipps (1920-2005).
