Supporting Nature in Roath Park Wild Gardens
Working with Gareth Stamp, the Park Ranger for Roath Park, we have made a major impact on the spread of Himalayan balsam and cherry laurel in the Wild Gardens. We have also removed some of the bamboo and begun planting whips of native trees such as holly, crab apple and alder. Over time this project will increase the range of plants growing there and enhance biodiversity in the wood.
The next stage of our work is to plant more tree whips and to continue remove more of the Cherry Laurel. We are therefore holding two working parties, one on the 14th January and the second on the 11th February. This is a real opportunity to make a difference for nature, the more people who can join us the greater success we will have.
The sessions will run from 10.30am to 12pm. Meet at the bridge on Wild Gardens Rd. Stout footwear and ‘ gardening clothes’ are advised.

The Experience and Lessons of Nextdoor Nature.
The Nextdoor Nature project worked with communities across the UK to engage them with nature on their doorstep. Our speaker, Marianne Evans, WTSWW's Wilder Engagement Officer, worked as the project lead for Nextdoor Nature in Swansea. Marianne will share with us the highlights of the project and the lessons learnt from it. The session will give us an opportunity to draw upon the project, whilst thinking about supporting communities in Cardiff to make a difference for wildlife in our neighbourhoods.
The meeting will be held online Using Zoom. You need to register in advance in order to attend and this can be done via the following link:
