This is such a positive project with loads of ideas such as no-dig food growing and involving communities from Swansea.
They have plans to create 7 areas of hazel coppice over the next 7 years. Coppiced wood is invaluable for building materials and for converting into bio-char to add to the soil. (The project is inspired by Ed Revill's growing project on South Gower and his biochar pioneering work).
Tuesdays have now been set as a weekly workday. It would be great to have a large group of people working together and sharing food and conversation too. Car parking available across the road at Bishopston Community Centre or the number 14 bus from Swansea bus station takes you right there.
If you want to get involved please contact Bob and Jules on 07964 530436 or climateandcommunity@btinternet.com or Val on 07533 711 506. Also if you know of any community groups that may be interested in participating, contact Jules and Bob. Volunteer expenses are provided plus unlimited cups of tea and coffee with biscuits!

There are a host of ways that you can support your local nature reserve, from visiting and joining events, to fundraising and volunteering.
Across the UK, the Wildlife Trusts care for 2,300 diverse nature reserves where wild plants and animals are protected - from ancient woodlands, lakes to urban parks. Nearly all of their nature reserves are free to enter and most people live within a few miles of one.
The Wildlife Trust’s offer a variety of ways of getting involved in their work, such as volunteering. Opportunities include community gardening, species surveying, plant identification and GPS mapping. You can even run Wildlife Watch groups, which enable young people to discover and explore their local environment. Volunteers carry out a huge range of tasks and it doesn't have to be outdoors - you can make use of your organisational, IT, administrative or financial skills too.
