Work is progressing well on felling cypress trees, with much of the block next to the road now cleared. Work on the second block beyond the hide is due to begin shortly.
We're pleased to report that the lake has refilled following the summer dry spell. Unusually low water in the autumn left many freshwater mussels exposed and staff and volunteers managed to rescue some of them.
Volunteers help with works to wet-up Cwm Marteg woodland
On a frosty morning in January, our Tuesday Volunteer Group planted some trees, made some willow bundles and undertook some damming work on a Forestry Commission Wales site in Cwm Marteg. Project Officer Darylle Hardy has been doing a collaborative project with Environment Agency Wales and Forestry Commission Wales to enhance a wet clear-fell plantation near St Harmon by retaining more water on the site and speeding up the growth of wet woodland. Darylle said, "we had 19 volunteers out which was amazing and they got an incredible amount of work done. I've realised that damming and channelling water is something that all ages like doing! Thanks to everyone for their hard work and I hope they'll go back and have a look at the results in the summer." Photos by J. Abell.
