 Llais y Goedwig is a voluntary association of woodland community groups that formed in Nov 2009 to provide a voice for community woodlands. We want to share our experiences, support each other and enhance local woodlands to benefit the people of Wales.This is us at the entrance to Cwm Plysog woods for the skillshare day at Coppicweood College on the 15th October 2011 |
