What's new

Prynhawn da pawb,

I thought I would try and summarise what has been going on in the last few months.

The biggest development has to be the work we are conducting at our Ynysdawela Local Nature Reserve in Upper Brynamman.

 This 16ha woodland site sits on the north side of the valley   and consists of former coal workings and farmland. Much   of the site is now secondary woodland with a small area of   Ancient Semi Natural Woodland, some marshy grassland   meadows, ponds and of course the River Amman on its   southern boundary.

Meadow recovery in progress

Work has concentrated on removing old infrastructure, improving the path network and managing the meadows more appropriately.

Notable species are Hazel Dormouse and Marsh Fritillary butterfly, although work by Liam Olds and Christian Owen has identified a wealth of invertebrate life, but I'll leave that for another time.

Access to the site is not straightforward but a few cars can park on Llandeilo Rd and walk down the track, (w3w location is  scanning.hack.claw ) or at the cinema in Upper Brynamman, follow the road signs
