Welsh Wood

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.

Noted a Curlew ( Numenius arquata ) on the Loughor estuary at Bynea.
