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.
