This looks like a cracking event for all the family this weekend at Blaen Bran Woods in Upper Cwmbran. There  is even overnight camping and a BBQ tonight.

Llais y Goedwig, who represent community woodlands in Wales, have organised the event with volunteers from Cwmbran.

“Saturday 20th April, is devoted to demonstrations of woodland activities. Not all are confirmed as yet but we are hopeful of displays of horse logging, tree felling, wood milling, wood carving,  forest school demonstrations, an environment game in the woods for children to enjoy, firewood processing, chain saw sculpture, lathe work, log splitting and musical instruments from wood. Some of these will be demonstrated by our own volunteers in Blaen Brân woodland.

“There will also be pony trekking, a biodiversity walk led by Roger James of Gwent Wildlife Trust, Roy Dixon’s ever popular history walk and walks showing what we have been doing in the woodland led by our own David Parsons and David Williams.

“The day starts at 10am and ends at 5pm but there will be events going on all day. There will a tent where refreshments are on sale and we shall open the car park just inside the gates by Ebenezer Chapel in the Square so you don’t have too far to walk. We can make arrangements for people with mobility problems.”
