    D E S E R T I S L A N D T I M E S S h a r i n g f e l l o w s h i p i n NEWPORT SE WALES U3A No. 10 22nd May 2020 “Liriodendron Tulipifera Aureomarginata” – the U3A 20th Anniversary Tree Photograph by Steven and Karen Lansdown in Belle Vue Park, Newport A miscellany of contributions from OUR members 1 View from the Chair As we are not going to be able to publish a summer newsletter this year I thought I would nevertheless publish what would have been my contribution to that had things been normal! Clearly the content would have been somewhat different but the underlying messages are on the same theme. Our enforced closure after afternoon groups on Friday, 13th March has, I know, been disruptive for everybody. It is, after all, an important part of our weekly routine to attend U3A at Shaftesbury Street or to meet as walkers or cyclists and I am sure we are all feeling a great sense of loss. This magazine will, I hope, have filled at least a small gap and the online activities of the groups that are able to do something is, I am sure, a boon to their participants. I still hear of new initiatives and any further ideas will be most welcome! Desert Island Times is being circulated beyond Newport U3A – I send each edition to members in Caldicot, Torfaen, Usk, Dartmouth and Odiham (Surrey) U3As and to others who are not currently members of any U3A.

Although there are 2 native sites around the dune slacks on the south side of the Bristol Channel, the Gwent Recorders’ Forum Meeting (Saturday 7th February 2009) Gwent Recorders’ Forum Meeting (Saturday 7th February 2009) • Canada Tips was an open cast mine mined by the Canadian Army during the war. The area is now mainly Gwent Recorders’ Forum Meeting (Saturday 7th February 2009) years ago the area was seen as useless; it shows the need to keep the pressure on to conserve these important sites. Q. How much protection does an LNR get? LNR is a statutory designation and is generally safe, but as it is usually a council led process, it is therefore often difficult to designate sites wanted for development or other uses. Newport Wetland Reserve Kevin Dupé (CCW) The NNR is 2,000 acres including the foreshore, and is located just to the east of River Usk, Newport stretching three miles across the Gwent Levels. The land was purchased by Uskmouth Power Station for thirteen fly ash lagoons, and four farms were destroyed to create the lagoons in the 1950s-60s. How did the site go from a 5m thick layer of flyash to one of the most important reedbed habitats in South Wales? • Firstly, the site was restored back to agricultural use by rough grazing. Once the power station had shut in the 1980s, the land was sold to the Cardiff Bay Development Company.

  • Newsletter 49, September 2007 (519Kb)
    MONMOUTHSHIRE MOTH & BUTTERFLY GROUP NEWSLETTER No 49 September 2007. A monthly newsletter covering Gwent and Monmouthshire Vice County 35 Editor: Martin Anthoney Cameraria ohridella update I have continued my quest to find the extent of the spread of this micro moth which is far more widespread than my first investigation indicated (see Newsletter 48). Trees in the Glasllwch area of Newport are affected including those at the start of Brickyard Lane, the western access to Allt-yr-yn nature reserve. Virtually all the horse chestnut trees on this reserve, some twenty in all, have signs of infestation. One tree was moribund with no sign of the terminal sticky buds which should produce next year’s leaves. Rodney Morris and I looked at the avenue of trees at the Glebelands public open space. There are over a hundred trees extending about a mile around the primeter, of which 25% showed signs of Cameraria damage. Other locations which proved positive were Royal Gwent Hospital, St Woolos cemetery, Park Square, St Julian’s Avenue, the Stow Park area and Great House Farm, Nash, not far from the entrance to the Newport Wetlands Reserve. One interesting phenomenon in St Woolos Cemetery was a tree almost totally devoid of leaves on one side. This leaf fall and the recent milder weather had triggered the tree into producing blossom (in September!). It would seem that it is now a case of find the horse chestnut, find the moth. I am grateful to Rodney Morris who helped with the tedious task of looking at over a hundred trees in one afternoon, to the gentleman in Stow Park Circle who offered coffee and biscuits because of my concern for the health of his trees and to the Welsh Assembly for my bus pass which allowed me to do this extensive survey for free.
