We were told the school leavers from Tredegar Comprehensive were gathering in the woodlands last night. We took wood over to the firepit for them to use. Then we were alerted to the mess left this morning. Cattle field littered, cattle feeding trough on fire, vapes, alcohol of every kind, keys, jewellery, an attempt to set the bench on fire, multiple pairs of sunglasses. 5 bags of litter and 2 hours to clean. ...

Absolutely disgusting after all the hard work that's been put into that place, just for it to be destroyed by some not all mindless teens and other young adults . Thank god our cattle weren't in the field because I'd have more to say.. 😡🤬
It’s really disappointing to hear about the mess and damage that was left, and I completely understand the frustration. But I just want to say, not all of the year 11 leavers were involved in that. My daughter went for less than an hour — she left when older boys turned up on motorbikes. I know a lot of the parents of the children who were there early on, and they had bags with them and intended to clean up. Sadly, some people don’t have the same respect for the area or for others, and it’s frustrating that those who did try to do the right thing are being lumped in with those who didn’t. It’s not about excusing the damage — it’s about being fair with where people place the blame. It wasn't just school leaver pupils there.
And the off road bike that was up there that's churned all the paths and mud up

Good riddance to those blasted bikes that have been tearing up our countryside
The riders should be jailed never mind how old they are if a car run them over and killed them you be the one to be condemed i wouldn't avoid them could cause a bigger accident it's getting behond not enough police doing there rounds rather be playing on there fkg phones
This fire was found by chance today, burning in the woods. It could have really spread, given the dry undergrowth of pine needles. Please don't start fires in the woods, it's so dangerous to the wildlife and woodlands as a whole. Luckily, we were able to put it out ourselves before it spread.
Please report all wildfires to 999. ... See MoreSee Less

What is the matter with people 😡
There are some idiots around. I expect they carried all their own wood there and not used ours?
😡😡
To celebrate National Volunteers Week, this is what our amazing volunteers have been up to in the last month , here is a little taste of our activity. Too many to name but you all know who you are and how very much appreciated you are by all of us and the wider community.
We’ve been weeding the tree nursery and planting out our seedlings, planting out vegetables, growing seeds and planting up for our great vegetable give away, had forest school sessions for children, schools and adults, winched logs, debarked and milled some and made planters, while others were sold whole for a roundhouse build, planted, cared for and enjoyed our wild flowers, gave food away to local food banks, did training sessions, continued with the green wood working club, fenced, made gates, moved our cattle to summer grazing, done some drainage work, applied for some grants, started to organise our open day, welcomed I tellectual Property Office for a volunteer day, did fugus id sessions, monitored bird boxes, bug hunts, cleared the pond and built new fishing pegs, held plant to plate cookery sessions and of course, litter picked!
Just another month in the woodlands, please continue to enjoy it, love from us all. ... See MoreSee Less
