Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i chi i gyd.
Roedd 2025 yn flwyddyn brysur iawn, gyda phymtheg o
brosiectau wedi'u cychwyn a thri ar ddeg wedi'u cwblhau, rydym wedi ymestyn
caeau pori, gwella cynefinoedd presennol, creu cynefin newydd, plannu coed
brodorol a blodau gwyllt, atgyweirio neu ailosod ffensys, gwarchod Ystlumod
Bedol Fwyaf a mwy!
Mae ein gwirfoddolwyr cadwraeth anhygoel wedi cyfrif,
ymlusgiaid, gwenyn a gloÿnnod byw, gwella cynefinoedd, ymgysylltu ag ymwelwyr
ac wrth gwrs wedi codi sbwriel pobl eraill.
Rwyf eisoes yn gwybod bod 2026 yn mynd i fod yn flwyddyn
gyffrous i gadwraeth yn Sir Gaerfyrddin, ni allaf ddatgelu gormod nawr felly
gwyliwch y gofod hwn am y newyddion mawr, yn y cyfamser mae gen i naw prosiect
yn barod i'w cyflwyno i gyllidwyr!

Happy New Year to you all.
2025 was a very busy year, with fifteen projects started and
thirteen completed, we have extended grazing fields, improved existing habitats,
created new habitat, planted native trees and wildflowers, repaired or replaced
fences, protected Greater Horseshoe Bats and more!
Our amazing conservation volunteers have counted, reptiles,
bees and butterflies, improved habitats, engaged with visitors and of course
picked up other people’s litter.
I already know that 2026 is going to be an exciting year for
conservation in Carmarthenshire, I cannot reveal too much now, so watch this
space for the big news, in the meantime I have nine projects ready to submit to
funders!

A visit to the, proposed, Ffynnon Helyg LNR saw me miss an Otter by seconds but I did find where it had been lying up, its often the signs left behind that are seen rather than the animal itself.

The Sand Martin nesting box structures seem to have survived being 50% submerged for weeks at a time, the next stage is preparing the nesting burrows for the returning birds, which really will not be long! A mix of sand and fine gravel will be used to fill the tunnels and nesting chambers allowing any adventurous Sand martins to create their own nests, I'll let you know how that goes !
Please don't expect a Blog every week in 2026, I will write one as and when I can.
