The Old Dy’vorian There’s everything except gangsters and lotharios! By Roger Williams HEN Dynevor School was closed, a host of invaluable docu- Wments were rescued from the skip by headmaster Allan Smith and his deputy Graham Hanford. The ODA immediately recognised the im- portance to present and future generations of an almost complete run of school magazines but had no facilities to store and display them. In time, it became clear that the way forward was to make them available on the Dynevor Revisited web-site. The firm Pearl won the contract to digitise them, and the Old Dyvorians responded to the last edition of TOD by raising £1150 to This picture of the school in finance the project. 1913 on the eve of World War You can now look up the ODA website www.

  • Tree Planting on Man-Made Sites in Wales
    IEE PLANTING ON MAN-MADE SITES mmmmm Forestry Commission ARCHIVE TREE PLANTING ON MAN-MADE SITES IN WALES by K.F. Broad Forestry Commission Introduction by J.W.L. Zehetmayr Senior Officer for Wales, Forestry Commission Forestry Commission 1979 FOREWORD This paper is the record of thirty years work on planting in Wales, carried out by the Forestry Commission outwith its main remit for growing timber. Most of the reclamation of derelict land or tips and much of the planting has been financed by Government Agencies or Local Authorities and much of the resulting plantation has been or will be incorporated into the Commission's Forests. The initiative for this paper came from a review for the Prince of Wales' Committee, the objective of which is to conserve and enhance the Welsh environment, both rural and urban. A general summary prepared by J.W.L. Zehetmayr (Senior Officer for Wales, Forestry Commission) served as the basis for a detailed study by K.F. Broad (Research and Development Division, Forestry Commission, in 1974-75, which forms the main text. It seems likely that the Forestry Commission will continue with such work for many years, particularly in South Wales, given the continued drive to clear dereliction and at the same time to step up opencast working. 2 CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION 5 Chapter 1.

The project, funded by the Dŵr Cymru WFD Project Funding scheme, aimed to raise awareness of the water environment and improve water quality in the Swansea area. The project was part of, and built upon, a wider initiative developed by Environment Agency Wales, working in partnership with others to employ a holistic approach to managing water quality. Two new officer posts were created to deliver the project and these were supported by a steering group comprising representatives of the three partner organisations. The Dŵr Cymru WFD Project Funding scheme provided £100,000 to the project with an additional £30,000 contributed by Environment Agency Wales (replaced by Natural Resources Wales).

  • Report on the Welsh Beaches in Need of A
    Surfers Against Sewage Are Calling For A Review of the UK’s Bathing Water Sample Sites. Welsh Report Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) believe the weekly bathing water samples required by the EU Bathing Water Directive should be taken from the area of the bathing water that presents bathers and water users with the greatest source of pollution, if a significant amount of bathers and recreational water users can be expected to regularly use that area of beach. Surfers Against Sewage are concerned that 45 designated bathing water sample spots around the UK do not provide a true guide to the water quality that a bather or water user might experience at our bathing waters, including 11 in Wales. The implications are incredible concerning, as our widely promoted water quality results could be misleading the public about the potential health risk at a number of the UK’s bathing water. The Bathing Water Directive states (Art3.3) the monitoring point should be where most bathers are expected or the greatest risk of pollution is expected, according to the bathing water profile. In the UK Regulations (Schedule 4.1) Defra have transposed the obligation to locate the monitoring point where the most bathers are expected. This was part of the original transposition The European Commission’s Reference Document for the monitoring and assessment requirements of the revised Bathing Water Directive published August 2014 states: • A bathing water is not defined by its physical size. The length of its corresponding beach can vary between bathing waters and the distribution of bathers within a bathing water can be uneven.

  • THE EXPERIMENTAL USE of VARIOUS COVERS and NATIVE TRANSPLANTS for the REVEGETATION of the KAM-KOTIA TAILINGS SITE, TIMMINS, ONTARI01 by Keith Winterhalder2
    THE EXPERIMENTAL USE OF VARIOUS COVERS AND NATIVE TRANSPLANTS FOR THE REVEGETATION OF THE KAM-KOTIA TAILINGS SITE, TIMMINS, ONTARI01 by Keith Winterhalder2 Abstract. The Kam-Katia mine/mill complex was closed in 1972, leaving 275 hectares of sulphide-rich, acid-generating tailings. Surface tailings have a pH of around 2.5, and contain elevated levels of arsenic, zinc and copper. Preliminary revegetation field trials have investigated the effectiveness of covers such as gravel, loam and peat, at different depths and in different combinations, and of locally available neutralizing agents such as ground dolomitic limestone, marl and sewage incinerator ash. The survival and growth of a seeded grass-legume mixture on replicated 2 m x 2 m plots has been monitored for a one-year period, as has the surface moisture regime and the capillary rise of acid ground-water. Plant biomass data show that a loam covering or a gravel covering topped with loam are the most effective, but at least one more season of observation will be required to determine the relative vulnerability of different cover combinations to upward movement of acids. A second approach to revegetation has been the transplanting of metal-tolerant ecotypes of native species from acid, metal- contaminated soils of the Sudbury mining area such as Oeschampsia caespitosa (Tufted Hairgrass}, Agrostis gigantea (Redtop}, Scirpus cyperinus (Wool Sedge} and Betula pumila (Dwarf Birch}. Tufted Hairgrass, Redtop and Dwarf Birch proved to be most successful on well-drained microsites, the Wool Sedge doing better on moist sites. A third approach involved the transplantation of whole sods of peat and associated plants from a nearby bog, with considerable success.
