Bethania

📍 Llanon, Ceredigion

In the small village of Bethania, two famers brought Protect Earth in to help create woodlands and shelterbelts to provide protection against the strong coastal winds. As well as providing a windbreak that will warm their livestick and foster all manner of little beasties!

Fourteen species have been selected for the woodland: nine tree species and five shrub species. In time this will give the woodland a natural structure with taller tree species forming a canopy with a secondary understorey or shrub layer beneath.

Tree Planting 🌳 900 trees planted

Protect Earth was contacted by another landowner nearby and asked to help with their wilding plans. We were more than happy to assist, and so back to Ceredigion we went!

Brynwichell Farm lies on the edge of the Cors Caranod Site of Special Scientific Interest. The landowner wanted to plant trees on many areas of the farm primarily to do something proactive to contribute to tackling the climate crisis.

Protect Earth helped the landowner plant native trees in scattered blocks that will extend existing areas of woodland and belts of trees. The site is already wonderfully rich in wildlife with sightings of Barn Owl and Otter reported!

This additional tree planting will help to provide habitat for the declining Tree Pipit, Spotted Flycatcher and Willow Tit – which have also been recorded on the farm.
