THE ROLE of GRAZING ANIMALS and AGRICULTURE in the CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: Recognising Key Environmental and Economic Benefits Delivered by Agriculture in Wales’ Uplands
THE ROLE OF GRAZING ANIMALS AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: recognising key environmental and economic benefits delivered by agriculture in Wales’ uplands Author: Ieuan M. Joyce. May 2013 Report commissioned by the Farmers’ Union of Wales. Llys Amaeth,Plas Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3BT Telephone: 01970 820820 Executive Summary This report examines the benefits derived from the natural environment of the Cambrian Mountains, how this environment has been influenced by grazing livestock and the condition of the natural environment in the area. The report then assesses the factors currently causing changes to the Cambrian Mountains environment and discusses how to maintain the benefits derived from this environment in the future. Key findings: The Cambrian Mountains are one of Wales’ most important areas for nature, with 17% of the land designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). They are home to and often a remaining stronghold of a range of species and habitats of principal importance for the conservation of biological diversity with many of these species and habitats distributed outside the formally designated areas. The natural environment is critical to the economy of the Cambrian Mountains: agriculture, forestry, tourism, water supply and renewable energy form the backbone of the local economy. A range of non-market ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation provide additional benefit to wider society. Documentary evidence shows the Cambrian Mountains have been managed with extensively grazed livestock for at least 800 years, while the pollen record and archaeological evidence suggest this way of managing the land has been important in the area since the Bronze Age. -

Managing Molinia? Proceedings of a 3-day conference 14-16 September 2015 in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, UK. Edited by Roger Meade National Trust Molinia Conference organising committee at Marsden Moor Estate office. L-R: Alan Stopher, Craig Best, Roger Meade, Nick Pollett and Andrew Underdown. With assistance from Rob Henry, Alyssa Young and Frances DeGiorgio (not in picture). Cover image © Alan Stopher View towards Pule Hill north-eastwards from the route of the old turnpike. Redbrook reservoir is in the middle distance. This is one of the original canal reservoirs which is maintained by Canal & River Trust with the water supplying Yorkshire Water’s customers. A sailing club also uses the amenity. Molinia tussocks dominate the foreground. 2 ‘Managing Molinia’ Conference, 14-16 September 2015, Huddersfield, UK; National Trust, ed. R Meade To cut, or not to cut. A very straightforward question, but so much Foreword more succinct than the answer. This is the dilemma often faced by managers of land for nature conservation where the easiest solution is to just follow what others are doing. As a former habitat specialist for a statutory nature conservation body, I am familiar with the pressures to provide clear guidance and one I remember well is the popular belief that any trees on lowland raised bogs should be cut down and prevented from regrowth. While there is a case for adopting this principle in many situations there are those in which it is not necessary, and is even undesirable from other perspectives such as the trees’ contribution to the landscape. It means that the conservation land manager must not only be aware of the bare bones of the received wisdom, but also of the caveats that make it possible for him or her to arrive at a reasoned judgement for their specific situation. -

The Search for San Ffraid
The Search for San Ffraid ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts’ 2012 Jeanne Mehan 1 Abstract The Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, called in Ireland and Scotland St Brigid (also called Bride, Ffraid, Bhríde, Bridget, and Birgitta) have not previously been documented. This Irish saint is said to have traveled to Wales, but the Welsh evidence comprises a single fifteenth-century Welsh poem by Iorwerth Fynglwyd; numerous geographical dedications, including nearly two dozen churches; and references in the arts, literature, and histories. This dissertation for the first time gathers together in one place the Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, integrating the separate pieces to reveal a more focused image of a saint of obvious importance in Wales. As part of this discussion, the dissertation addresses questions about the relationship, if any, of San Ffraid, St Brigid of Kildare, and St Birgitta of Sweden; the likelihood of one San Ffraid in the south and another in the north; and the inclusion of the goddess Brigid in the portrait of San Ffraid. 2 Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 2 CONTENTS........................................................................................................................ 3 FIGURES ........................................................................................................................... -

Eisteddfod Swyddffynnon 2021 Yn Anffodus Eleni Ni Fu Modd I Ni
Eisteddfod Swyddffynnon 2021 Yn anffodus eleni ni fu modd i ni gynnal yr Eisteddfod yn ôl yr arfer a hynny oherwydd sefyllfa Covid-19. Felly, nôl yn yr Hydref wrth orfod gwneud penderfyniad, cytunwyd y byddem yn medru parhau efo’r cystadlaethau llenyddiaeth a ffotograffiaeth, a glynnu at gyhoeddi’r canlyniadau ar ddiwrnod yr Eisteddfod, sef 26ain Chwefror 2021. Y beirniaid Llenyddiaeth oedd John a Menna Jones, Ffair Rhos a dyma eu beirniadaeth hwy i chi o’r cyfansoddiadau a ddaeth i law: Bobol bach-am gystadlu! Mae’r pandemig byd eang wedi creu poenau a thristwch i filiynau ac mae’n parhau i wneud hynny. Ond yng nghanol y cloeon mawr a newid ffordd o fyw, mae ein beirdd a’n llenorion wedi dal ati i greu a hynny ar raddfa tu hwnt o swmpus. Er gwaethaf gohirio Eisteddfodau, ni ddinistriwyd yr awen, ac mae cynhyrchion llenyddol Eisteddfod Swyddffynnon 2021 yn brawf pendant o hynny. Roeddem wedi gobeithio cael rhyw ddwsin i bymtheg o ymdrechion ymhob categori, ond pan gyrhaeddodd y cyfansoddiadau drwy law’r ysgrifenyddes, Annwen Isaac, dros y penwythnos, aed ati i gyfri, ac er mai ond pedair cystadleuaeth lenyddol oedd yno, derbyniwyd 258 o ymdrechion - ie, 258. Anhygoel, a phob un o safon gymeradwy. Tasg cwbl amhosibl bron oedd mynd ati i wneud penderfyniadau, a bu darllen a darllen a darllen, gan greu pentyrrau di-ri ar y bwrdd oedd lawer rhy fach i’r broses ddidoli. Ond wedi tridiau a their noson lafurus, rhaid oedd dod i ryw fath o derfyn, ac weithiau nid yw dau ben yn well nag un gan fod gwahaniaeth barn yn medru creu anghytundeb!!! Fodd bynnag, dyma ni o’r diwedd wedi cytuno, gan bwysleisio mai’n naturiol chwaeth bersonol sydd wedi ein cynorthwyo i osod trefn. -

The Role of Ritual and Ceremonial in the Reign Of
THE ROLE OF RITUAL AND CEREMONIAL IN THE REIGN OF EDWARD I by MARLA LYNN MORRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2012 Copyright © by Marla Lynn Morris All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my incredible thesis committee, Sarah Davis-Secord, Elisabeth Cawthon and Steven Reinhardt, for the generosity of their time, efforts and direction, and especially for their overwhelming encouragement, unwavering moral support, and faith in me during a very difficult and trying time in my life. November 14, 2012 iii Abstract THE ROLE OF RITUAL AND CEREMONIAL IN THE REIGN OF EDWARD I Marla Lynn Morris, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012 Supervising Professor: Sarah Davis-Secord Often it is said that no one is better at pomp and pageantry than the British monarchy, and indeed, this has been the case at least since the time when medieval kings ruled England. One monarch in particular stands out as having successfully utilized royal ritual and ceremonial to great political, military and personal gain. Edward I is widely considered one of England’s most dynamic, respected and successful monarchs. Called a “precedent seeker,”1 the king’s reign was “. one of the most pivotal in the whole of British history, a moment when the destinies of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland were decided.”2 Edward summoned the biggest armies and convened the largest parliaments seen in England during the entire span of the Middle Ages. -
