These Open College Network courses are free and for people aged 25+ years who are not currently in work, and aim to improve skills and employability, as well as benefiting health and wellbeing by getting people outdoors, trying new things and meeting people. They are suitable for those with little experience of tool use, and will mostly involve green-wood work. The OCN courses will run every month, or can be delivered bespoke for existing groups.

Coed Lleol and the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales were successful in a joint funding bid from the Rural Development Fund. We have funding for 3 years to work specifically on four sites within the rural wards of Merthyr Tydfil – Bedlinog, Vaynor, Bryngolau and Gellideg. The aim of the project is to involve the whole community in using the sites and for the sites themselves to be improved and hopefully designated as LNR’s (Local Nature Reserves). Activities include a seasonal community days (four a year), environmental volunteer days, school activities and one-off events. 2019 activities:
Free and Open to all! 10am – 1pm:
