There is only a relatively small amount of money involved (circa £5m) but it seems a good idea to attempt to join up the existing tracts of forest, to create a National forest extending from Wrexham to South Wales (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/12/wales-launches-5m-national-forest-scheme-with-pupils-help). It is also a good educational idea to enlist the aid of young school children as it is likely to make them more environmentally conscious. The completed forest might well also help tourism and reduce the problem of flooding in some areas.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
