All the larch markers are from Sirhowy Hill woodlands situated between Ebbw Vale and Tredegar and have been felled, debarked, inscribed and installed by our team of local volunteers. We have also installed the red run and the yellow run which will appear in the next news item.
We have lots of other things going on as well. Please message or email Susy if you have availability and are interested in volunteering with us at info@sirhowyhillwoodlands.co.uk.
