Wetland in NPT

Lowland fen habitats in NPT support diverse communities of plants and animals and are generally well connected to other lowland wetland systems. However, their condition is poor in places with evidence of eutrophication and pollution and also problems with successional scrub encroachment and invasive non-native species, e.g. Rhododendron on Pant y Sais Fen and Sea Buckthorn in the marsh and fen...

Coastal Habitats in NPT

The coastal strip of NPT between Crymlyn Burrows and Morfa Dunes once supported a well-connected, biodiverse ecosystem with sand dunes, dune slacks and coastal fen. However, it has suffered huge losses in species-rich habitats in the last 100 years mainly as a result of industrial development. Unfortunately, much of what remains is also in a perilous position with an uncertain future, still thr...

    Genuine survival techniques for when you are stranded in a wilderness with nothing. Most ‘survival’ channels are just outdoor camping with a limited, but chosen inventory, such as ferrite rods, para cord, folding saws and the like…they are all BS and won’t help a jot when you wash up on a beach with nothing but what you are wearing huh! Making cordage is a fundamental necessity to bind sticks, stone knives, spear and arrow heads, fishing line and throw nets etc. Literally stone age natural survival skills.

      AND MORE: The leaves have hair-like structures that sting and also produce itching, redness and swelling, but once it is processed into a supplement, dried, freeze-dried or cooked, stinging nettle can be safely consumed. Studies link it to a number of potential health benefits. 6 evidence-based benefits: 1. Many Nutrients Stinging nettle’s leaves and root provide a wide variety of nutrients, including Vitamins A, C and K, as well as several B vitamins Minerals: Calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium Fats: Linoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid Amino acids: All of the essential amino acids Polyphenols: Kaempferol, quercetin, caffeic acid, coumarins and other flavonoids Pigments: Beta-carotene, lutein, luteoxanthin and other carotenoids What’s more, many of these nutrients act as antioxidants inside your body. Antioxidants are molecules that help defend your cells against damage from free radicals. Damage caused by free radicals is linked to aging, as well as cancer and other harmful diseases Studies indicate that stinging nettle extract can raise blood antioxidants...

      @@hetrodoxly1203 And by tap you mean whack the bugger. There are indeed many varieties. The thing to look out for is the set of parallel fibres. Once your nettle (or indeed any cordage staple, like willow phloem, or blackberry) breaks down then you can twist and counter-twist it into good cordage.

    For the last four months we have been hearing this strange noise near our home. We live in semidesert part of East Africa. At first we thought it was a strange car alarm. No one could pinpoint at what it was,not even elders over 70 years old. We all have never ever heard such a sound until we saw a strange plummed bird, never seen before fly away. It always report at 7 in the evening sharp, does its thing then is back around midnight and early dawn.Am glad to learn here that it is called a nightjar, we were beginning to come up with drones, goblins and surveillance theories 😂.

    A very interesting video and the project overall shows lots of promise. Given these Peatlands are quite remote and often difficult to get at. How are you going to directly engage the public to get involved .My opinion is, that if people can see first hand and on the ground itself I think the project is going to run into serious problems regarding public support or more like public apathy. I originate from Glyncorrwg , one of your project areas. Walking access is difficult at best due to the terrain and as for older persons and younger people the areas may well as not exist due to their relative inaccessibility. This is without talking into account the number of permanently locked gates and lack of provision of access gates for the walking public . Is the Lost Peatlands Project going to promote or seek to have better access facilities ?. With regards to vehicular access to these project sites are you going to be in a position to negotiate with NRW Local Farm owners and the wind farm people to allow access over the property and land they manage?...Have you thought about Minibus trips for locals through the wind farms and forestry? This is important, better access is a must ! Without the direct hands on, bodies on the ground support from the Public for all groups and sectors of the community I fear this project may be doomed from the outset. .How does the project envisage people learning about the importance of this project and the undoing of all the damage done previously by the Forestry commission? . Putting videos on line .and engaging with local Facebook groups is one thing. I would be interested to hear of the Projects plans to engage more with local on the ground resources that already exist . For example have you had any direct contact with Glyncorrwg Ponds Visitor Centre and how you may compliment each others projects . I wish you the very best for this Project ,sounds lovely but apart from being an important project in respect of climate change and restoring the area to its more natural habitat what are the projects plans for engaging more directly with the public.
