The 2012 Llais y Goedwig national conference and AGM was held on the 9th and 10th March 2012 (Friday and Saturday). The presentations, workshops and visits were all very successful and mixed in with learning and fun was serious debate about the future of community woodlands. The next year will be a busy one as LlyG builds its membership and services, looks beyond Wales as it joins a EU project on small woodland enterprises and takes on the responsibility of representing community woodlands in the development of a single environmental body for Wales.
A full report of the conference can be read here: Llais y Goedwig Conference Report 2012 – Participation, and photos are available from the Llais y Goedwig Flickr page – please do send any more of your own to add to these.
