Parc Natur Penglais

Parc Natur Penglais Local Nature Reserve on the North side of Aberystwyth. Gwarchodfa Natur Leol ar ochr ogleddol Aberystwyth

Parc Natur Penglais Support Group - whose members run this page - was set up when the Parc was established in 1991 to advise and assist the owners Ceredigion County Council with the management of the reserve, through a mutually-agreed Management Plan that is revised every 5 years. The Council Conservation Officer is a member of the PNP Support Group Committee, together with 12 local residents and

two Councillors. The Parc was given formal status as a Local Nature Reserve in 1995 and was later designated as a UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Urban Nature Reserve, the first in Wales. The PNP Support Group was given a Prince of Wales Award in 1993.

On Wednesday 11th March six PNP supporters met to clear footpaths and steps in the Parc. Led by Andy Bakewell, our professional supervisor, the first job was to clear a fallen sycamore that was blocking the path so that walkers had to trample the new bluebells that will soon be flowering. The rest of the day was spent clearing accumulated leaf debris and mud from Cwps Corner all the way up to the Beech glade and viewpoint. We also reached into the undergrowth to clear discarded litter.

A very satisfying part of the work is to hear the compliments and thanks from Parc users who appreciate the importance of our voluntary efforts. Our work is grant aided by Aberystwyth Town Council, but we always welcome contributions from lovers of this beautiful and peaceful part of town. Please contact the Treasurer of the Parc Natur Penglais support group on [email protected] if you would like to help us.

DIWRNOD GWAITH YN Y PARC / WORKDAY IN THE PARC
On Wednesday 21 January, volunteers from the Parc Natur Penglais Support Group, supervised by Andy Bakewell, cleared gorse, brambles, rubbish, and golf balls from the quarry area of the Parc. In the afternoon they were joined by university students from the Aberystwyth Conservation Volunteers, they repaired a broken bench and improved muddy and puddled pathways. Another workday is planned before the end of March, look out for posters here and in the Parc for further details.
