What a lovely morning we had last Sunday giving nature a hand at Flaxland Woods, in Gabalfa, Cardiff, as part of 💚

⭐ Over 30 people joined us to help improve the woods for nature & the local area!

⭐ We put up bird & bat boxes in Flaxland Woods to help

⭐ We improved our flower bed, adding edging and improving the soil. We planted lots of pollinator friendly heathers & bulbs (bluebells, fritillary & daffodils)

⭐ We made lots of pine cone bird feeders - children and adults alike loved making these! We hung some up in Flaxland Woods & families took some home to encourage birds into their own gardens

🙏 Diolch to RSPB Cymru for your support & funding, and Global Gardens for supplying the bird boxes!

⭐ We also collected 12 bags of rubbish from nearby lanes & streets, as well as along the edge of Flaxland Woods. Some of our helpers are regular litter pickers, some tried it for the 1st time.

🙏 Diolch to Maes y Coed Community Centre - Cardiff for lending us the equipment

We all had a great time and it was especially lovely for the kids to get involved!

We look forward to doing more soon - we're still talking to Cardiff Council about future plans - watch this space! 💚

Good news!

On Thursday 16th December, Cardiff Council's Cabinet will review a new Property Plan. Flaxland Woods is now no longer listed for sale, but as a community lease.

This follows a lot of hard work & meetings over the last year with Cabinet members & officers.

Full update to follow after Cabinet!

Protecting woodland has risen up the agenda recently with commitments to halt biodiversity loss and plant thousands of new trees across the city. Flaxla...
