We have orchids at Dinas Station! Really appreciate John's horticultural expertise and the time he puts in to creating a beautiful haven for pollinators in this patch and Transport for Wales for giving us the opportunity Trafnidiaeth Cymru Trenau Transport for Wales Rail Trafnidiaeth Cymru / Transport for Wales Vale Nature Partnership

Our blue tits have fledged last week. There are now 5 new blue tits in our community thanks to the dedication and hard work of their parents. Nature is amazing.

FREE Meadow Celebration Event facebook.com/share/SatcKWQN…

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Meadow Celebration Event. There was bug hunting, wild flower walk, yoga and art workshops. So nice to see people enjoying this valuable habitat in a variety of ways.#WalesNatureWeek #valelnp #ValeNature

Bees buzzing on the borage at Brookside! #walesnatureweek #valelnp #pollinators

Tidying up our Castle Drive patch sparked some interesting chats with passers by. Some think it’s a little too wild but many are supportive. This article explains why wilder spaces are important. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

We're back, I (Hilary) managed to get us kicked off by mistyping my age as several decades younger than reality! It took a long time to verify that I am not 14 :-) Anyone seen any Jersey Tigers? Dinas Powys is a bit of a hotspot for these beautiful, often day-flying moths...

Desperately seeking a local farmer with the ability and time to cut and bale the meadow on The Common. After all the volunteer hours put into this project it would be such a shame if the hay isn't used. Vale Nature Partnership

We will be at this event and we have trees to give away. Silver Birch, Wild Cherry and Rowan. Perfect for planting this autumn.

Dont forget our Bat Walk this Saturday. Weather is looking fine, but ground may be muddy.

Thank you to everyone(over 100!) who came on our bat walk. We saw a few flying bats, heard how the detectors work and learnt a little more about these fascinating creatures. Thanks Abigail and Mary for the photos and thank you #valelnp for our detectors.

Our AGM is on Monday 21st October. Mostly its an opportunity to chat and share ideas, with the formal bits being short and sweet. Would be lovely to see you there. fb.me/e/74OGiFzWM

Raking a patch of The Common by hand after discovering no one wants the hay. Disappointing and hard work, but doing what we can for one patch of the 7 acres. Vale Nature Partnership #meadows
