  • Cymdeithas Treftadaeth Dyffryn Conwy Conwy Valley Civic Society
    Cymdeithas Treftadaeth Dyffryn Conwy Conwy Valley Civic Society Our 50th Birthday book To celebrate our Society's 50th birthday in 2019 we are hoping that it will be possible for us to publish a book/booklet (depending on your response!). What we are looking for are true stories, memories, snippets of information – indeed anything to do with the entire area covered by The Conwy Valley Civic Society. Amazing, amusing, unusual, sad, happy, historic (or more recent) – all will be considered, and it would be wonderful if we can get some personal memories over the last 50 years ... the sort of recollections that really should be recorded but never have been before. We're NOT asking anyone to produce a whole chapter (but if you can – then please do!) Contributions can be absolutely any length from a few words to a couple of pages and in either Welsh or English (or both). I would hope that every village and our one town can be represented in some way. Perhaps you can not think of anything immediately yourself – BUT perhaps you know someone locally who you could ask, and who would like to write something for us, there is so much local knowledge out there. All contributions will be acknowledged in the publication. The CVCS area includes: Gyffin - Henryd - Glan Conwy - Pentrefelin - Tal-y-cafn Eglwysbach – Tyn-y-groes - Ro-wen - Pontwgan - Caerhun Llanbedrycennin – Tal-y-bont - Dolgarrog - Maenan Trefriw Llanddoged – Llanrwst - Llanrhychwyn - Betws y coed Dolwyddelan - Capel Curig – Penmachno – Cwm Penmachno - Pentrefoelas - Ysbyty Ifan ....and all points in between (my apologies if I've left anyone out, this is only a guide to the general area - we actually cover all the valleys of The Conwy, Lledr, Machno and Llugwy).

The Future Page 41 Dark Sky Reserves Snowdonia for status Gwarchodfa Awyr Dywyll Dark Sky Reserve 1.0 Executive Summary This document sets out Snowdonia National Park Authority’s application to the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) to designate Snowdonia National Park (SNP) as an International Dark Sky Reserve (IDSR). Snowdonia National Park Authority (SNPA) is committed to the protection and conservation of all aspects of the environment, including the night sky, and as such supports the mission and goals of the IDA. The Authority believes that achieving IDSR status for the SNP will further raise the profile of the Light Pollution issue in Wales following the successful application from the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority in 2013. It will assist SNPA in gaining support in protecting the excellent quality of dark skies which we already have in Snowdonia from the general public, business, and politicians, and to improve it further where needed.

  • IDA - Annual Report 2018 Snowdonia National Park Authority
    IDA - Annual Report 2018 Snowdonia National Park Authority Introduction and General Overview Snowdonia National Park is the second area in Wales to be designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve by the International Dark Sky Association (IDA). This is a highly prestigious award, given only to places with outstanding Dark Sky Quality and ones which make real efforts to preserve them. The Snowdonia National Park Authority (SNPA) staff along with various partners worked hard to build public support for the idea of protecting Snowdonia’s night skies, and since its designation as an International Dark Sky Reserve back in December 2015, have subsequently made great strides in educating locals about the fragile state of dark skies in the Park and its value both as a natural resource and a tourism draw. The whole reserve extends over more than 2,100 square kilometres, equating to around 10% of the total land area of Wales. Together with the Elan Valley Dark Sky Park, the Brecon Beacons Dark Sky Reserve, and a string of Discovery Sites along the Pembrokeshire Coast Wales has around 17% of it land committed to taking action towards the preservation of its night skies. The designation as an IDSR is not only an opportunity to protect the environment and enhance biodiversity but also an opportunity to advance further by highlighting features which link the stars to our history and our culture here in Wales. 2019 sees a dedicated Dark Sky Officer joining the National Park team who will be responsible for driving forward new dark sky initiatives and activities alongside supporting local AONB’s who are striving to achieve Dark Sky Community Status.
