  • Cyngor Cefn Gwlad Cymru Countryside Council for Wales Site of Special Scientific Interest Citation Carmarthenshire Pyllau Machyn
    CYNGOR CEFN GWLAD CYMRU COUNTRYSIDE COUNCIL FOR WALES SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST CITATION CARMARTHENSHIRE PYLLAU MACHYNYS (MACHYNYS PONDS) Date of Notification: 1993 National Grid Reference: SS 512980 O.S. Maps: 1: 50,000 Sheet number: 159 1: 25,000 Sheet number: SS 59 Site Area: 6.4 ha Description: Situated on the glacial "end moraine' which farms the backbone of the Machynys Peninsula on the northern shore of the Burry Inlet, just south of Llanelli, these ponds owe their origin principally to the flooding of clay pits in the catastrophic storm of October 1896. In the intervening period, uncommon plants and invertebrates have colonised the site from nearby freshwater and brackish marshes which were once found around the fringes of the now- reclaimed "Morfa-mawr (or "Great Saltmarsh") that lay alongside the higher ground of the Machynys moraine. These moderately nutrient-rich ponds, and the inter-connecting areas of fen and carr, have developed a distinctive and, for Wales, an uncommon community of invertebrates, which includes a high proportion of species which are regarded as indicators of habitat quality; there are also faunistic elements that are more characteristic of fens and marshes of lowland southern England and which are noticeably rare in Wales. The dragonfly fauna is particularly diverse. Machynys Ponds are additionally noted for their botanical interest. The site comprises one large pond with a group of three smaller pools to the east, linked by fen-carr. The main pond holds various aquatic plants such as spiked water-milfoil Myriophylium spicatum, Canadian waterweed Elodea canadensis and increasing rafts of the yellow-flowered fringed water-lily Nymphoides peltata.

  • Invertebrate Group
    DYFED INVERTEBRATE GROUP NEWSLETTER N°. 1 (March 1986) This first issue of the DIG Newsletter heralds what we hope will be a new phase in the conservation of invertebrates in west Wales. We are all aware of how beautiful and varied Dyfed's countryside is and many of the richer sites have already been purchased by sympathetic bodies such as the West Wales Trust for Nature Conservation, Nature Conservancy Council, National Trust and Woodland Trust. These reserves, by and large, have been chosen as representative of the spectrum of natural and semi-natural habitats in the county - with an eye often kept open for scarce plants and birds. These priorities will no doubt remain but as public interest in, and hence knowledge of, invertebrates improves the requirements of a whole range of groups must be taken into account. Apart from broad generalisations of sound practice it has been difficult for conservation bodies to cater for invertebrates as, until recently, so little has been known about them in Dyfed. It is our hope that DIG will provide a voice for those thousands of unsung species and present the information and advice upon which management plans can be formulated. The primary need is to collate data on the distribution and status of our invertebrate fauna in order that conservation priorities can be assessed. This is the main function of the Newsletter, to bring together the results of the efforts and expertise of naturalists surveying invertebrates in Dyfed. The Newsletter will appear as often as we can fill the pages - it is dependent upon the support of your contributions.

  • Annual Report 2016-2017
    Dyfed Archaeological Trust TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED st 31 MARCH 2017 i TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2017 The Trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31st March 2017. Over forty years have passed since the Trust was incorporated under the Companies Act on the 4th February 1975. Objective of the Trust The Dyfed Archaeological Trust is an educational charity and a private limited company. The Trust was established in 1975 as part of a network of four independent archaeological organisations covering the whole of Wales. The object for which the Trust is established is to advance the education of the public in archaeology. Mission Statement Promoting the understanding, conservation and appreciation of the historic environment of Wales. Promoting the historic environment All of the Trust’s activities directly or indirectly promote the historic environment. However, some projects and activities were specifically aimed at raising awareness of the historic environment as one of Wales’s greatest assets. Community participation The Trust has always welcomed the involvement of members of local communities, students and other volunteers on excavations and other projects. In recent years we have supported increased participation as it is now recognised within the profession that archaeology can make a major contribution to economic and social objectives, including child poverty, social inclusion, public health, tourism and economic regeneration and address some of the seven goals in the Welsh Government’s 2015 Well-being of Future Generations Act. Local volunteers and others participated on excavations including: St Patrick’s Chapel early medieval cemetery; Great Nash as part of the Llangwm heritage project; Machynys House, Llanelli; and the Bishops’s Palace garden, Abergwili.

The IWA is an independent organisation owing no allegiance to any political or economic interest group. Our only interest is in seeing Wales flourish as a country in which to work and live. We are funded by a range of organisations and individuals, including the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and the Waterloo Foundation. For more information about the Institute, its publications, and how to join, either as an individual or corporate supporter, contact: IWA - Institute of Welsh Affairs, 4 Cathedral Road, Cardiff CF11 9LJ T: 029 2066 0820 F: 029 2023 3741 E: [email protected] www.iwa.org.uk www.clickonwales.org Inspired by the bardd teulu (household poet) tradition of medieval and Renaissance Wales, the H’mm Foundation is seeking to bridge the gap between poets and people by bringing modern poetry more into the public domain and particularly to the workplace. The H’mm Foundation is named after H’m, a volume of poetry by R.S. Thomas, and because the musing sound ‘H’mm’ is an internationally familiar ‘expression’, crossing all linguistic frontiers. This literary venture has already secured the support of well-known poets and writers, including Gillian Clarke, National Poet for Wales, Jon Gower, Menna Elfyn, Nigel Jenkins, Peter Finch and Gwyneth Lewis.
