Porthkerry Wildlife Group (PWG) is a group of conservation volunteers dedicated to the preservation, conservation and education of the flora and fauna in and around Porthkerry Country Park. Barry, South Wales.

The group was set up in February 2014 when it came to light that the Park Rangers were too busy to be able to monitor the wildlife. Despite this, the group remains independent of both the park, and Vale Of Glamorgan Council, the park's operators, in order to avoid local politics and keep the focus on conservation.

Membership of the group is open to all adults and is free, but non-members are also encouraged to participate. The group meets on alternate Sundays at 10:30am in the Forest Lodge, and meetings last 2-3 hours. They also meet midweek on an ad hoc basis.

The group activities are various, although the work is predominantly surveying, monitoring and recording. Other activities include habitat maintenance and nestbox building and siting. The PWG also tie-in with local and national surveys like The Big Garden Birdwatch and put on one-off events such as a Bat Count or Moth-Trap. There are also plans to arrange a series of evening talks in order to promote conservation and educate the public
