Tyriet Farm & Bluestone Brewery Wildlife Report
Tyriet Farm & Bluestone Brewery Wildlife Report This report was prepared by John Hudson Ecological Consultancy and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority as part of the ‘Naturally Connected’ project. The project was funded by the Welsh Government’s Sustainable Development Fund. This is a pilot project so we would love to receive your feedback on this information pack. You can send your comments to [email protected] or leave your comments in the visitor book. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Welcome to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park! Pembrokeshire lies at the south west extreme of Wales and is surrounded on three sides by the sea. Pembrokeshire's marine and terrestrial environments are strongly influenced by the Gulf Stream and the National Park supports species found in both warmer, southern areas as well as those from colder, northern regions. Pembrokeshire is internationally important for many of its coastal, marine and lowland heath habitat as well as ancient, semi-natural oak woodland in the North of the park. These habitats support some of our most iconic species including choughs, puffins and seals. The high wildlife value of the Park is reflected by its nature conservation designations which include: 13 Special Areas of Conservation (3 Marine SACs overlap about 75% of the Park coastline and account for about 60% of the inshore area). 5 Special Protection Areas. 1 Marine Nature Reserve (Skomer) – one of three in the UK. 7 National Nature Reserves. 60 Sites of Special Scientific Interest. With miles of rugged coastline, sandy beaches, farmland, valleys, hills and woodlands to explore, we hope this short guide will help you experience some of the fabulous wildlife our National Park has to offer. -

Broadcasters judge programmes by their quality, the number of people who are attracted to them, and by their ability to make a difference. The Church has something to learn from this.

'Wales' African Twin' by Paul Williams
Wales’ African Twin The story of Dolen Cymru - the Wales Lesotho Link Paul Williams Author’s note It is a privilege to have been involved with Dolen Cymru – the Wales- Lesotho Link – since its inception. And it was a special privilege to have been charged with keeping the records since those very first informal meetings in 1983. I continued, as Secretary, to keep the records of the link until the Spring of 2004. I would like to record my sincere thanks to Dr Carl Clowes, who first suggested that I write this book. He has been a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. As well as writing the foreword, he has given the manuscript a thorough edit, adding fresh insights and up-dated material. I would also like to thank my wife Elizabeth for her support, proof- reading and sensible suggestions. As Secretary of the link, I have had the opportunity of working with wonderful colleagues, many of them serving on different Dolen committees and filling different posts, both in Wales and in Lesotho. They are too numerous to list here (some, but not all, appear in the text), but I would like to offer my deepest thanks and appreciation to all of them. Without their selfless and enthusiastic contribution, there would be no story to write.
