Neath Port Talbot contains an incredible variety of habitats and wildlife. Some of our habitats are internationally important and the region contains over 19 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI’s). Here you can find rare species such as Deptford pink, shrill carder bee and fen raft spider. We can boast Wales’ only population of the blue ground beetle, a nationally important breeding population of lapwing and the county is also one of the most important breeding strongholds for honey buzzard in Wales.

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...

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...

So lovely, well done to you all x
The leaves can be saved for nettle tea, it’s high in nutrients
Thank you, I'll try this today as i need natural cord for tying sticks together for a project. I really like your sheep and sheepdog hat too.
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.
brilliant
SEXY WOMAN THERE...
She said it’s June and she’s wearing a tabogan and a sweater lol damn
So helpful. Thank you Tara.
Not heard of it before but will definitley go visit
This man needs a 'tache
Yours is the 4th tutorial I have watched and is the clearest and best one I've seen. Thanks so much.

If you want a stronger cord, is it best to roll more fiber into each strand, or to plait finished cords?
Best nettle cordage tutorial on YT. Explains aspects not covered by others!
Thanks Tara. Very clear insr=tructions
I was wildcamping in the Peak District at this bird kept me awake all night doing exactly this, at the time I had no idea what it was it sent me crazy after a while. Thanks I'm now glad to have spent the night with the illusive bird, The Nightjar.
Can't be better explained! It's clear you love what you do. Congratulations!!

Good job Tara.
Absolutely fantastic.
What I've been waiting for, thank you
Real beautyful young woman. Good skills.
You can also make nettle beer , delicious.
Thank you for uploading this video of "The Lost Peatlands Project"
The noise when you split the stem comes from the Nettle-Soup Dragon.
Brilliant - love it. I'm only across the boarder in Hereford - will walk there one day. All the best with the projects. Mark
Wow more i learn more im amazed by nettles , for those who didn't know nettle leafs can be cooked and eaten and are rich in iron. you'll want to pick them though at the right time of year when there young and fresh (probbely best to keep away from pathways and roads if eating)
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...
This the way we make bow strings for longbows. It's called the flemish twist. Mind you, you are Welsh. Lots of people do believe the Welsh invented the longbow.

Lovely Tara.

Cool. You could take the leaves home to make tea, or soup!
@@joecostner1246 I love them. I'm a bee!
Really interesting! Thank you for sharing!
thank you Tara good skills thanks for sharing
Made cordage from bark before, tried this for the first time today. The fibers didn't come off the nettles as easily as it did for you. Not sure what i was doing wrong.
There's many different verities, if it won't peel, put it on a log and tap it with a stout stick.
@@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.
Great video, thank you
Great video
Really helpful for what I'm doing.
great vid!
You suggest the harvest time between June 'til the end of summer. I've heard from another source that harvest time is from the beginning of summer (August). Could you tell me why you suggest this harvest time and what changes occur in the nettle after summer time? would be much appreciated x
They die back at the end of summer and aren't generally long enough until late spring, but you can make cordage when ever you can find nettles.
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 😂.
@@nptwildlife4335 it has a tree bark like plumage. I have been trying to get a photo unsuccessfully coz it comes in the dark but will keep trying. We are all still enjoying the experience though.
Brilliant! We will try it this weekend 😍 you make it sound and look so easy, Tara! 👏🏻
That was a great tip. Thanks for the share.
Yes, I'm collecting DIY knowledge as this planet implodes into overheated & overly cold, yoyo-ing across Canada this bloody winter of 2021-22. Your video is So well done, with no annoying music; a lovely cheery personality in your teaching ways. I love Nettles, always drink the tea & put it in soups. Haida Gwaii, where I got hooked on foraging nettles in particular has a week of Nettle recipes, cook offs & more. Cheers.
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.
