Croeso, Welcome to the Caerphilly Woodlands Trust website.  

Easter Monday

We have a limited number of trees of trees to plant on Monday 24th March.  We supply the trees, protective tubes and stakes.

All you have to do is plant them.

First come, first served.

Further detail 07971 888889

Appropriate planting of indigenous trees beautifies communities, reduces smog and pollution and provides us with sustainable ecosystems.  It is our aim to create a better habitat for all natural species of wildlife and you are welcome to help with this project.

Your personal green gym is still open for walks! Enjoy it - the natural environment is more rewarding than an enclosed gym.

"The Long Pond"

In April 2003 the newly formed Registered Charity 'The Caerphilly Woodlands Trust' became the new and permanent owners of the former clay pits and the surrounding area now known as Coed Y Werin, loosely translated as The Woods Of The Common Folk - that's all of us....

Located between Wernddu in the east, The Warren to the west, Cefn Onn ridge to the south and The Van to the north, it benefits from many superb wildlife corridors.

Rudry School, Twyn School, St. Helen's School and 'The Hub' have embraced our Forest School project and are committed to further encouraging youth participation.  Lansbury Park School has also helped us plant trees.

Our success has been largely due to the hard work and support of our members but it would have been impossible without the further support of Caerphilly County Borough Council, The Forestry Commission and Cydcoed.  A big, sincere, 'thank you' to all.

Special thanks also go to our major sponsors who are local businesses, serving our community : -

Kathryn Butcher of Business By Computer Limited.

Kathryn Short of Ziedman and Davis (Accountants) in Cardiff Road, Caerphilly.

Thanks also to Scottish and Southern Energy plc in Scotland, the Caerphilly Local Health Board for their magnificent turn out of volunteers and to a very major Construction Company who has recently completed an important project in our County.
