GeoffC said:After reading so much about encroaching afforestation in Wales, it was really encouraging to see
that the conifer plantation above the Gwaun valley has been felled and is being regenerated with
heathland, with careful consideration for native species and monitoring of progress as
recolonisation continues. I have included a link to the web page that describes the project.
Yes, good to hear they're planting something sensible now!
Dinas Island is always a nice walk on a good day. It's one of my winter
favourites, being within easy reach. It's quite interesting geologically
as well as you climb up towards the sea. The channel from Pwllgwaelod
to Cwm yr Eglwys is just above sea level - a geological preview of
what's going to happen to the Menai strait and Anglesey.
