Welcome to the Woodland News Archive
The latest happenings from Sirhowy Hill Woodlands.
We've had another eager volunteer hopping the gate to our community hub to check the security of the site. We have an excellent shot of him and his pink striped tracksuit. We welcome new volunteers, but suggest they come at times when we are there to welcome them.
We have sessions at our Community hub weekly, based on Thomas Ellis Way, opposite the industrial estate, postcode NP22 4QZ, what3words ///roadshow.escapes.tilts. Community
gardens are open Tuesday and Thursdays from 10 am till 2pm and Wednesdays and Saturdays 10 am till 12 pm. Sessions involve tending to our gardens where we grow fruit and vegetables for cookery sessions, for sale to the community and volunteers also can have produce when available.
We have sessions involving woodlands management when lead volunteers are available.
This involves anything from brush cutting, strimming, felling, winching logs, clearing brash, chipping and much more. We source funding for training for our committed volunteers, for
the skilled tasks.
We have other sessions for apple juicing, orchard management, fungi identification, Bug identification and litter picking.
We hope to see you at a session soon. If you are new to us, please let us know when you will be first attending, so we can make sure sessions are on and there is someone there to meet you properly. We are all volunteers here, with a mixture of work and caring
commitments, some sessions can be changed due to weather also.
You only have to commit what time you want and are welcome to come to all or only part of the sessions. We have volunteers of all ages, different abilities and with a variety of health conditions. We just want people to enjoy the woodlands, have fun, learn new skills, meet new people and help us protect and enhance our beautiful woodland. ... See MoreSee Less

We have been clearing the woodlands edge of brash by the cattlefield today. Not only to make way for stalls for the event, but to make way for nature. Advice in the Ecological Management plan is to stop the forward encroachment of the woodlands onto the grassy borders. Woodland edges like these are just as important for biodiversity as the woodlands are. ... See MoreSee Less

Making way for nature by cutting down trees. Sounds like an interesting concept. Somebody need to tell Mother Nature she‘s been getting wrong all this time.
It's such a wonderful place to have in Tredegar.
Just wondering, where are the cows nowadays? The huge area that was fenced off for the cows has been empty for a long long time The cows were only there for a short time. Just wondering where they are and are they returning to the area fenced off for them?

We will be welcoming clans from across Britain to fight, feast, & honour the old ways in competition & celebration. The clash of steel, the raising of horns. Sagas shared & legends written.
We have a host of other activities to do and see, food and drink, music and arts & craft stalls.
We also have the fabulous Tredegar Army Cadets, Gwent Police, Ebbw Vale Blue Watch Fire & Rescue and our Forest school with Monika!

Last gardening session of the series at Rassau resource centre tho we are still growing on the runner beans tomatoes and sweet peas for the members of the group who couldn’t make today’s session, potting up armstrong runner beans, little gem lettuce and sowing radish and spring onion to go with the lettuce
We also sowed sweet millions and marmande tomatoes, a very good time to sow tomatoes for planting outside later as it’s just before the full moon and they should germinate quickly in the greenhouse and then grow with great vigour, especially as we will feed with home made bokashi while they are growing, adding potash when they are flowering ...
