Owing to a cancellation on the 2nd June, Powys Young Carers will be engaging in their second of five activity days in Llanidloes Woods. This will be building upon the fun experienced by all on the last day with fire-lighting and games in the woods.

Come and join us to find out how your organisation can get involved with this exciting new project and feed into the project development.

We are currently in the development year of an exciting project in partnership with the Elan Valley. Tir Coed will be running its successful engagement model at Elan Valley for the next 5 years and we’re hoping to make contact and link up with many local organisations to ensure the successful delivery of this project from 2017 onwards.

We would really appreciate your views to help shape the Tir Coed provision. Please can you let me know asap if you can attend?

As the VINE Project at Llanidloes nears completion there are two remaining biodiversity days to complete the research. Our expert ecologist Scott Roe will be taking one sample of all the key areas as we have done before and collecting a little more data to consolidate a strong baseline. We will also analyse the species lists and see if we can see any patterns in terms of what type of site the invertebrates are linking to.

Please get in touch to book a place for this day.

This is the last Biodiversity Monitoring Day at Allt Goch Woods, Llanidloes and our ecologist Scott Roe will be tying things up and preparing for the final report to demonstrate the impact of the VINE Project on fauna and flora.

The third of five special activity days for Powys Young Carers to include person-centred activities where the carers will be taking a lead in the activities they wish to pursue along forest school lines.

Children from Waunifor Youth Club near Pencader are visiting Long Wood for a fun evening of activities in the woods. Leaders Sally Harvey and Anna Thomas have got lots of fun and energetic activities lined up for them and they'll also be making something special to take home with them.

This activity is being run by the Woodland Classroom 

"Getting kids offscreen and outdoors! We’re bringing our video game inspired activity day back to Aberystwyth. In computer games like Minecraft and Terraria, players have to survive in a hostile environment; build their own house, hunt for their food, search for materials and fend off wandering monsters. Sure, your child can survive in the ‘wilderness’ on the computer screen, but can they do it out in the real woods? In our unique outdoor game kids have to work together, using what they know from video games, to learn outdoor survival skills and earn points along the way."

Further information and tickets available on their event page.
