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.

  • Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue CIO Newsletter December 2020
    Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue CIO Newsletter December 2020 Team Chairman Update - Tim Bird The current pandemic continues to affect us all at work, home as well as during MR operations, training and support roles. Recent regional lockdowns have again seen us all living under Covid restrictions with no likelihood of a return to pre-covid life for some months to come. The weeks in national lockdown between March and June 2020 saw the Team responding to approximately 5 incidents. However, this period was especially busy with work planning for Covid-19 callouts, training and sourcing PPE. Many of us will not have had the opportunity of spending much time at Oggie Base during recent months, however thanks to Chris Lloyd, Dave Brown, Jed Stone and the other base supporters who have spent some considerable time during lockdown renovating much of base. Of note is John Heaton’s continued weekly work cleaning and sanitising base during the Covid-19 period. My thanks to Jed Stone for his excellent work as our outgoing Equipment Officer and best wishes in his new role, resuming as an Operational Team Leader. A new post of Equipment Manager has recently been approved with Sharon Parry taking on this newly adapted role to support the Team. With great sadness I have to inform you of the death in November 2020 of one of our founding and honorary Team Members, Neil Adam. Neil has 55 years MR service from 1965 to 2020. Combined with his wife Maggie’s 51 year’s service, they have over 100 years MR service! Neil will be sadly missed by the Team and our love and best wishes go to his wife Maggie, family and friends.
