ON SALE NOW ONLY £3
YNYS Môn MP Virginia Crosbie joined volunteers and young people from Scoutsmôn to help plant 800 hedging trees at Caeau Ty’n Talwrn – the island’s Scout Campsite.
She worked with the young people planting the trees at the seven-acre site, part of Gors Bodeilio Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The MP was met by Adrian Williamson the District Campsite lead volunteer who gave the MP a warm welcome and a tour of the site and the work that has taken place since 2015 to restore it back to meadow like fields while creating a resource for use by Ynys Môn based Scout and Guide groups as well as visiting scout and youth groups from all around England and Wales. I had a great time getting stuck in to what is a brilliant community project with the scouts that is helping the environment and wildlife here on the island,” said Mrs Crosbie. “Special thanks to Lily-rose Haddrell, Young Leader & Explorer with De Môn Explorers and Adrian for taking the time to talk to me about the campsite, how it is being improved and future plans, including working closely with NRW and the Church Trustees who own the site.”
The trees were provided by The Conservation Volunteers as part of the I Dig Trees project: 1,500 hedging trees have been planted at the site over the last three years.
Adrian said: “Scoutsmôn would like to extend great thanks to Virginia for coming along to see the site and the ongoing environmental work we are carrying out. Caeau Ty’n Talwrn is a great site for our Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs & Scouts to get involved in outdoor activities throughout the year.”
