Nature by the Taff
@naturebythetaff.bsky.social
A local community nature group centred on Taffs Well, Gwaelod-y-Garth, Tongwynlais, Nantgarw and Pentyrch.

We create opportunities for local people to connect to the amazing nature where we live in South Wales, and take practical action to help it thrive.
An update from Andy on the great work by volunteers in Tongwynlais to give Swifts a home as they arrive after their long migration. Heroes!

Keep an eye out overhead for their arrival, they come in successive waves from their winter home in Africa - one of the iconic sights of summer in Wales.

The weather conditions preceding the fire were extremely dry leaving the grass & bracken to turn to tinder.

Here's a 🧵putting this fire context...

We recently led some scrub clearance at Blaengwynlais- here's a video from the day explaining why these activities are so important!

Hi @annamcmorrin.bsky.social @abarroscurtis.bsky.social

You're our MPs in Cardiff North and Cardiff West

We made a short video asking if you'd support the Climate and Nature Bill this Friday 24th Jan

It's our best hope for a liveable future - please don't stand in its way
@zero-hour.bsky.social
We're backing the Bill!

As a group, we want to live our principles honestly.

If we don't walk the walk, as a group committed to trying to live better with nature, then who will?
