A traditional field hedge was planted to help protect nature and wildlife in Powys during a volunteers’ day overseen by Mid Wales based non-profit organisation Wilba.

Over 400 dogwood, hawthorn, hazel and blackthorn saplings were planted by six volunteers during the day at the project site near Llanbister Road, Llandrindod Wells.

Volunteers and funding are still needed to help Wilba, which is based in Llandrindod Wells, with some of their ongoing projects.

Wilba Projects and Marketing co-ordinator Rachael Lewis said, “We would like to thank everyone for giving up their valuable time to help on the day.” 

Wilba is a small non-profit organisation which has been set up with the aim of helping farmers and landowners protect nature and wildlife without affecting the running of their businesses.
