At Pembrey, the post and rail is being constructed from Chestnut, a robust long lasting timber, replacing the rather serviceable but now unsightly, and in need of repair, post and wire fence. The new fence will help showcase this wonderful reserve to the general public.

At Morfa Berwig radical changes have been made to the roundabout entrance with a complete re-landscape, necessary to ensure the entrance is as secure, whilst pleasing on the eye, as possible there are approx' 9 tonnes of concrete blocks, and 30-35 tonnes of soil and rubble used in the construction of the entrance!!!

I was in awe of the driver, he is amazingly skilled with the machine,
moving 2tonne blocks to within c3cm of their end location (I measured it)

| Almost there...... |
A few hours work with the Wednesday gang will see the entrance complete! Watch out for the photo in the next blog.
It looks very bare at the moment but give nature a few months and we may be surprised to discover what plants were lying dormant under the dumped spoil and brambles.
Bee Orchids, along with Southern Marsh Orchids grow along the verges of the A484, so it would not surprise me at all if we see Bee Orchids appear on the disturbed areas, maybe not this year but in a few years! I feel a project coming on here, monitoring the verge!
