We’ll need to know how many people to expect for this early morning walk, so if you’re planning to join please let us know by emailing us at post@coetiranian.org. Diolch!

For those of us who prefer a lie-in, we’ll start the main part of the day at 10 am with hot drinks and cake around the fire, and an introduction to wildlife recording – the important process of recording what species are present in different areas – with Carys of West Wales Biodiversity Information Centre.

Then, we’ll head off and visit different parts of the land, led by staff and local expert ecologists, recording any interesting species we find as we go, and learning from each other’s specialisms and interests.
