We're set up today at V Fest organised by GAVO - Caerphilly. It's an amazing event where we can interact with the public and other volunteering professionals to discuss the great work we do with our volunteers. Even better, there's a delicious cake stand next to us, so we're well worth a visit.

With a Met Office weather yellow weather warning in place today for strong winds we will be cancelling todays woodland volunteering in Coedwig Gellihir, Pontyclun.

Looking up at the branches of the mature Pedunculate Oaks is a beautiful sight, but the hazard they represent in theses weather conditions is very real and we will always prioritise volunteer safety.

We had a great day yesterday working with Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru / Natural Resources Wales and the support of our local volunteers we made good progress in clearing scrub and removing overgrown vegetation from a pond.

We have been doing work at Tredegar Business Park to improve the habitat for reptiles.

With less scrub and more space in the pond we hope reptiles will be able to thrive with more food and sun available.
