Wendy has asked me to tell you about a recent survey carried out by The Wales We Want National Conversation. They say “The biggest issues facing future generations in Wales are climate change, the natural environment, jobs and skills, according to the survey. Click on this bbc article to hear about the survey findings.
A food and sustainability network started in the North of England in Todmarten by Co-founders Mary Clear and Pam Warhurst. They have both delivered inspiring talks about the movement for the video lecture series TED:
Core Values:
• working together
• learning – from field to classroom to kitchen
• supporting local business
Inspired by this message, other enthusiasts have picked up the baton. The UK network alone has more than 50 independent groups and as a worldwide movement, it stretches from Canada to New Zealand.

This exciting charcoal making course is taking place in Coed Panteg woodlands just outside Ferryside on the week end the 21st and 22nd of June.
Woodland Coop Ltd are running the 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
