If you're wondering through Plascrug avenue after the 01st of June, you may notice some new labels on trees. These labels were bought with a grant from the Aberystwyth Town Council and are similar to those used by Kew Gardens. #trees #greenspaces

[Penparcau Forum @PenparcauForum]

All welcome, meet people, do a bit of #gardening & have a chat - #Tea & Toast provided. 8th June, #Penparcau Hub, 10-12.

Cllr Mari Turner, Aberystwyth Town Mayor Elect for 2019, invited GAG to join this year’s Mayoral Parade.
GAG thanks the Town Council for the grant given to buy labels for tree species down Plascrug avenue.

I think it was a bit rough for some of the deciduous trees last night. 70-80 mph gusts and spring don't go too well together. 🍃

@Alan_yn_Aber @WelshBooks @NatResWales @WoodlandTrust Yes, @WelshBooks. They are reportedly in discussion with @CoedCadw as regards to the replanting.

[Greener Aberystwyth Group @Greener_Aber]

GAG is currently investigating the felling of 30+ seemingly healthy trees in Glan yr Afon industrial estate. Although replanting is proposed, we feel this was avoidable and are saddened at the loss.

Brilliant to know this red data list species is present at a nature reserve just outside of Aberystwyth. Coed Geufron is accessible along the Rheidol cycle path via Blaendolau playing fields.

[Greener Aberystwyth Group @Greener_Aber]

@chloegriffiths You're very welcome!

Llanbadarn Road Cemetery notice board:
GAG created a photo collage to help explain the management of the cemetery with pictures of some of the flowers and insects that have benefited from this plan. Thanks to @CeredigionCC for financing and to Rachel and Jon for enabling this.

[Greener Aberystwyth Group @Greener_Aber]

The 2018 Nature of our Village Project report by @chloegriffiths is now available.
The wildlife of #Penparcau is throughly covered from water voles to #butterflies, not forgetting Plant Galls and #Ladybirds, it’s all there.

Plenty of bees enjoying the spring sunshine today at Pen Dinas Hill-fort, Aberystwyth, including this female Buffish mining bee (Andrena nigroaenea) and Forest cuckoo bee (Bombus sylvestris) - both personal firsts for the year. Wonderful place!

[Liam Olds @olds_liam]

Fantastic to see 3 Dark-edged bee-flies (Bombylius major) today while exploring
Pen Dinas Hill-fort, Aberystwyth, with @GRyley99. Have there been many Welsh records so far this year @SoldierfliesRS? #beeflywatch

[Penparcau Forum @PenparcauForum]

Interested in what's buzzing around #Penparcau 🐝 #bees. Check out this article from the @BumblebeeTrust by @chloegriffiths
