FLP is now looking for ‘Landscape Ambassadors’ - friendly volunteers to welcome visitors at various locations over the summer and get some feedback on their experience. All you need is one or two days to spare over the summer and to be enthusiastic about the stunning Blaenavon World Heritage Site (BWHS) landscape with it’s important wildlife and heritage features. A workshop for anyone interested will be held on Friday 22nd June 10am -12.30pm at the Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and will include lunch. Please book by calling 01495 742335.
The BWHS Volunteer Rangers group continues to grow steadily and four teams now support FLP’s work. The practical conservation team have worked tirelessly to help install signage for 10 heritage trails over the winter and assisted with controlled burning for heather moorland management. The dry stone walling team now has qualified volunteers carrying out regular wall repairs and new recruits are preparing for an assessment later this year. An active team is now monitoring wildlife regularly and others are running activities for the Junior Rangers Club, such as fossil hunts and bird box making. To date the gift of time from the BWHS Volunteer Rangers totals a staggering 3365 hours!
