Chatted last night with founder Forum member Victoria Bancroft in the Yacht Club,Ferryside. Victoria recommended watching a short speech by the BBC wildlife reporter Iolo Williams The Welsh Assembly in 2013. I found it a moving and sincere call to action.
You can watch it by clicking this link http://www.gwentwildlife.org/node/6762
Thanks for this Victoria.
Woodland Coop Ltd are hosting a two day “hands on” course about making small quantities of top grade charcoal using coppiced wood in steel drum kilns. They will also use a professional 6′ kiln to demonstrate how larger quantities of charcoal can be produced.
Over the course of the two days they hope to show you the coppiced woodland, appreciate the woodland ecology , view newly planted woods and see the various interesting projects ongoing at Coed Panteg
Email mikee@canolnet.plus.com for more details about this exciting local course. Places are limited and going fast!
