I was really excited to be invited to participate in this interesting event in Brackla. The woodland has unfortunately seen a decline in its maintenance and is in dire need of some care and attention. I joined forces with the Brackla Communities First team and their environment group to assist local residents in a cleanup.
Early that morning Bridgend CBC had cut a path directly into the heart of the woods giving easier access and their operatives continued thinning out overgrown areas throughout the day. Local residents and their children were later joined by Western & Wales and Link housing officers to remove 21 bags of rubbish 2 tyres, plastic pond liner, fibreglass piping and numerous other items of furniture and unwanted household objects that had been dumped there over time.
By the end of the afternoon, access was hugely improved and the woods looked 100% better thanks to the tenacity of the volunteers attending.
EXCITING NEWS - The site is being considered for a community tree house for a Sky 1 TV series which will make the whole area a fantastic community asset to be used by local residents all year round. The site was chosen by SKY TV, because of the environmental work already undertaken by the local community, so a huge well done to everyone involved in all the improvements to the woods and keep up the good work.
