The VWT’s Conservation Programme Manager and long-time lesser horseshoe bat expert, Dr Henry Schofield, led the day assisted by OB4B Project Officer Jane Sedgeley. The workshop started with indoor presentations on lesser horseshoe bat ecology, a fascinating introduction to bat echolocation from Henry and a session on how to survey for bats using various types of bat Fig.1: Henry Schofield with attendees at our bat detector workshop in detectors.

Both pieces were recorded at one of the VWT’s lesser horseshoe bat roosts in the upper Usk Valley, where Henry Schofield and Jane Sedgeley discussed the Trust’s conservation work with the species.

  • October 2003
    Price £2.50 Number 1 October 2003 A warm welcome to the Forum’s first Newsletter and a big thank you to all of the contributers who have produced articles for this issue. Thanks also to Lin Norton for producing the cover heading. As Editor, producing this Newsletter has been very much a steep learning curve, particularly getting to grips with ‘new technology’ so if there are any glitches in what you actually receive please bear with me. We had intended producing this Newsletter in two formats, electronic and hard copy, in order to keep the costs down and speed up distribution. However, due to the size of the finished copy it is probably too large to send to most of you as an e-mail attachment so, for the time being, we are producing it in hard copy format. Hopefully, in due course, we will be able overcome this problem so that those of you able to receive electronic communications can receive it in glorious technicolor. This first issue covers a wide range of topics from planning issues to individual building stones as well as Forum business, short notes and the first field meeting report. Jonathan Adams’ article on Cardiff’s Millennium Centre is a fore-taster for the field trip on 29th November the details of which, along with those of all of the Forum’s other meetings until the end of 2004 are to be found elsewhere in the Newsletter. Below is a report and reminder from Tim Palmer for all those of you who have yet to pay your first subscriptions.

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. B20 - LLANGORS Introduction 1. The present community of Llangors is located in south-eastern Brecknockshire. Its topography is defined by the broadening vale of the northward flowing afon Llynfi, which at Llangors forms the largest natural lake in Powys. To the southwest, this valley is bounded by Allt yr Esgair; to the east it is bounded by Mynydd Troed, Mynydd Llangors and Cefn Moel at the western edge of the Black Mountains. The B4560 runs through the community, which is otherwise served by a network of unclassified county roads that generally run north-south to each side of the geographical barrier that is formed by the afon Llynfi and Llangorse Lake / Llyn Safaddan.
