The latest happenings from Sirhowy Hill Woodlands.
A wild and wet day today. Our volunteers installed 20 woodcrete bat boxes across the North and South Woodlands. We have had surveys showing established foraging patterns from Common Pipistrelles and Soprano Pipistrelle bats in SirhowyHillWoodlands. We hope now to have them roost with us. ... See MoreSee Less

Your doing an amazing job x
Brilliant job 👏
Such a lovely thing to do, such a shame that for such a animal loving charity you are so prejudice about horse riders riding in your woodlands blocking them from entering them from September 2024 after I myself have been riding in them for over 50 years sadly the younger generation have not got the safety of the forestry but have to ride on the rather dangerous 60 mile an hour Manmoel road accident waiting to happen such a shame but the other work you are doing with the wildlife good job
A quick litter pick today in the woodlands with some vintage litter finds. This shows the importance of disposing of your litter responsibly. A bag of Quavers from 1994, a lucozade bottle from 2004 and a bag of malteser bunnies from 2016. ... See MoreSee Less

Don't worry if you see the cattle out in the snow. They are British Whites, who are hardy, native, and capable of thriving in harsh, wet conditions. British White cattle can claim direct links with the ancient indigenous wild white cattle of Great Britain.
They are fed, watered and cared for by our local farmer. ... See MoreSee Less

They know the farmers on his way before he's even in the woodland 🤣🤣
Definitely made for this weather. Love from the Farmers wife
Thank you from Susy to representatives of st Joseph’s who gave me a congratulations card and a box of celebrations to celebrate my award and we had a lovely sunny but icy walk around the cattlefield and the fire pit and saw Ceri, Chris and the team busy working on the beautiful dry stone walling near the main entrance, we tested the seating around the fire pit and it was very comfortable, on the way back a cheeky grey squirrel popped out of the willows on the banking!! ...

Please be careful! We've seen photos of children on the Sirhowy Hill Woodlands ponds. The Cardi and Goldie are both frozen, but the dangers of going on the ice are immense. Please warn your children that walking on icy ponds can be fatal. ... See MoreSee Less

In the 60's Dead dog lake, some of us knew it as....I spotted several dead dogs and a suspicious sack in it's murky waters. I wouldn't swim in it unlike keepers pond
When I was a junior schooler, kids often fell through the ice on Ysgubor Wen and Blue Lake, some of which did drown.
Yes, dad's cousin lost her life falling through the ice here, so it can and does happen. I understand it looks fun but it's not worth the risk.
