Carys Solman is the Woodland Mentor in Merthyr Tydfil. A regular group is now running with NERS, and there are Mindfulness walks every Saturday, as well as some half term activities (see posters below), and an exciting new regular Woodland Activities programme. We have also been working with Cyfartha Park and NERS to run training for their staff, and the regular NERS group is now running regularly! Details of all below.
