A NEW study has revealed that Wrexham is the best place in Wales to raise a sustainable and eco-conscious family. 

A study by sustainable experts Bower Collective analysed the ratio per child of local outdoor learning schools, the number of family-friendly nature days out, second-hand childrenswear listed online, allotments and public farms in towns and cities across the UK to identify the best places to raise an eco-family.
