FEBRUARY 2024 VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
​
It's been a productive winter so far, clearing willow from in front of the bird hide and the heathland. Today we welcomed Groundwork Wales and some new volunteers. They helped with the pollinator raised beds before taking a look at the next stage in the project cycle this winter. Thank you everyone, hope to see you return soon. Just a reminder... every Wednesday until the end of March for now. Please see Facebook post for details.
Notification of fishing at Beaufort Woodlands
We have seen an increase of interest of fishing at Beaufort Ponds and Woodlands recently. Our aims are to ensure that a sustainable diverse environment is maintained, with little impact from the wider community. Fishing of the ponds has been supported by our society as part of an inclusive society that encourages well being and development. This has been respected for many years and we hope that following some basic guidelines we can continue to protect our precious environment for future generations. Fishing from within the waters is therefore prohibited and should only take place from the banks, as described in the Beaufort
LNR Ecological Management Plan.
If you require details of this plan please contact the Beaufort Hill Ponds & Woodlands or Blaenau Gwent CBC
POLITE NOTICE
When parking at the entrance, please respect these. Too many times I have had to re-assemble them due to cars bumping into them. You wouldn't do it to your own wall so please don't bump our boxes. Thank you.
PLANTERS HAVING A REFRESH
All 3 boxes now re-filled and populated, thanks to Groundwork and our Volunteers. Help our pollinators and donate a flowering annual or perrenial and pop it in one of our boxes the next time you visit
