Bluebells

We have a fantastic crop of Bluebells in the park this year.
If you have a bit of time to spare please take a walk through the second woods (past the rugby club entrance) and have a wander through the woodland.

Seasonal Ponds Day 3

There were plenty of people on site this morning moving and cutting bits of tree and anything else they could lay their hands on.
Also a new drainage pipe was added by the pathway in the 2nd wood and we had the big guns in today with a tractor and chipping machine. And more importantly the weather was spot on :-)

A big thank you to all that helped especially all those that had travelled from Swansea we hope we can repay you one day.

By the time I arrived on site everyone was having a well earned break (just in case your wondering why there is no one in their machinery)

The Chipping Machine

Now people in the swings can keep an eye on their kids on the BMX track.

Brodie hopes this is not a permanent obstacle on his walk (It Isn't)

Volunteering is about friendship and making new friends (and FUN)

Break time.

February 2012 New Trees

We are pleased to say we now have four new trees in Coed Bach Park. A big thanks to Martin Bignell the Assistant Manager for the tree unit in Swansea for allowing us to have these.

Two new Oak trees have been placed next to the cleared gorse bush area behind the seating near the football field.

And two new cherry trees placed by the avenue of trees as you enter from Coed Bach road.
