November : Showing our site to others

Liz showed Rob Penn, the project manager of Stump Up For Trees (a community-based charity focused on woodland creation and enhancing biodiversity in the Brecon Beacons area), round our Varteg plantings. They had a really interesting visit and there is some hope for collaboration to enhance South Wales with more trees and to increase biodiversity.

They found that nature has really taken over the site. There is now dense undergrowth among the trenches and many self propagated trees, also ivy, holly, hawthorn and bramble thickets. They spotted a wren but there is evidence of squirrel damage on the trees.
