Tree planting day

replanting 2015

PLANTING DAY ALERT!!
A tree planting day is being arranged for Sunday 26th February, up at Blaen Bran.
Meeting at the log circle, to set off at 10.00am, we will make our way up to the planting area which is the northern end of the felled area up at the top of the woodland.
We have a 1000 bare root saplings to put in, including hazel, sweet chestnut, oak, alder and poplar. Many of the trees have been provided by our friends at Cwmbran Community Council, as part of a flood prevention initiative.
It would be great to see as many volunteers as possible up there on the day. Hopefully we will have support from local scouts and other groups too.
Boots or wellies would be advised.
Anyone arriving later than 10am can make their own way up to the top (It’s the Mountain Air end of the felled area)
We’ll remind everyone nearer to the day

Social evening with Friends of the Earth

Together with Friends of the Earth, we are holding a quiz and games evening at the Bush Inn, Upper Cwmbran, on Tuesday 29th November at 7.30pm.
This is always a great night, with quizzes, games, dingbats, anagrams and more.
Tickets (£5 inc chips and a roll) are available from the Bush, or call 01633 875704
Come and join in a great night – and support some good causes too.

2017 Calendar

We have our 2017 calendar now available at £6.50 each.

If you want to buy one, they are available from the Bush Inn (Upper Cwmbran), Davies Timber or order one online here and we’ll arrange how we can get them to you.

All proceeds will go towards projects in our much loved woodland.

Green flag awarded – again!

Once again Blaen Brân Community Woodland has won the prestigious Green Flag award. It is judged against a range of criteria – how welcoming, health and safety, cleanliness and maintenance,  sustainability, conservation, community involvement and management.

Needless to say, the woodland passed with flying colours , thanks to its members, volunteers, directors  and the community who use it.

If you’re interested in becoming a member, volunteering or anything else to do with the woodland, contact us on     enquiries@blaenbran.wales

Den Day 2 – the return

We held a Den Day in June which, although successful, a lot of people said they couldn’t attend but asked could we do it again. So we will hold another Den Day on Sunday 14th August. Feel free to turn up any time between 10.00 am and 1.00 pm at the log circle and we’ll direct you to a place where you can build your den. We ask for a donation of £2 which will go to Save the Children. We’ll provide branches, sticks and leaves but feel free to gather your own. It’s a great activity for a family and proved great fun last time. Some Dads even let the children help!
Sue will be running her coffee and tea morning at the same time so refreshments will be available. So come along and join in even if you don’t have children with you
