Soft Revetment Works In Association with Severn Rivers Trust, Tylwch, Llanidloes.
Written by Tir Coed / Dydd Mercher 05 Hydref 2016
Rivers and woodlands are inextricably linked. This day was a lovely mixture of learning about the work of the Severn Rivers Trust, constructing soft revetment work and exploring the connections between Tir Coed and the Trust. Brash bundles were used to line the riverbank.
They were staked into place and wired together to form a barrier for further erosion and to ensure the appropriate flow of the rivers. This was to ensure that the life of the rivers was maintained to its optimum level. It was also very exciting to discuss the potential for partnership between Tir Coed and the Severn Rivers Trust: both robust organisations with much in common.
The trust are running a number of apprenticeships from 2017 and it would be wonderful progression for Tir Coed volunteers and mentors to move on from our training courses into these apprenticeships which are a great opportunity for interested and enthusiastic volunteers. We look forward to forging closer working connections and more formal partnerships between our organisations into the future.
That was really great Martin. Thank you so much for including me in this and let me know if you have anything similar I can volunteer for in the future.
