In a statement, they said: "The erection of the new signage at the Bodafon Farm entrance is one of many works being undertaken to improve the overall appearance of the site. As the sign states, Bodafon Farm Park itself is temporarily closed to the public.
"We're pleased that the Owl's Trust have continued to commit to Bodafon and provide a remarkable sanctuary for the species."
They added: "As to the future, we will be making an announcement at the appropriate point but needless to say we have plans for the farm park."
The Pioneer has approached Mostyn Estates several times over the years seeking updates on the site.
In early 2026, the property management company told the Pioneer that they currently had no news to share regarding Bodafon Farm Park.

Earlier his year, the Pioneer reported that the site of Alice Liddell's holiday home had been taken off the market.
The land, where the second home of Alice Liddell once stood, the girl said to have inspired the Alice in Wonderland tales, has lain empty for years.
Anwyl Homes had hoped to transform the former Penmorfa site on West Shore into apartments.

Proposals for redevelopment of Penmorfa were being worked on. A consultation process was due to start in spring 2021, with a full planning application scheduled for submission that summer.
Building costs and other issues caused setbacks, and Anwyl Homes ended up putting the site up for sale with Legat Owen, with hopes of transforming it into residential apartments or a healthcare-related development.
However, the property is now off the market.
Anwyl Homes confirmed the site is not being actively marketed at present, but a range of options are being considered.
A spokesperson for Anwyl said: “We continue to consider a range of options for the site and remain committed to ensuring the site is redeveloped.”
