Trees to be felled in woods
Details were revealed at the recent Town Council meeting where councillors were updated on the management plan for the area, which is the only council-owned site listed as a habitat of principal importance for Wales (under Section 7 of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016). It is home to seven species of tree of principal importance to Wales.
“The Council has been working with the Deri Woods Volunteers to put together a management plan for Deri Woods to ensure it is well kept for future generations,” town clerk, Robery Robertson, said.
“This will mean some felling of trees to ensure others are allowed to grow. The full plan can be found on the council’s website at www.llanfairtowncouncil.co.uk.”
Several consultation days are planned for the autumn when residents can take a tour of Deri Woods to see what is proposed. The dates will be published in due course.
Meanwhile, the Friends of Deri Woods have gained a grant to enable re-instatement of a meadow to be created around the stones which will allow indigenous species to grow and also help with biodiversity.
The Council has agreed to part fund the project to enable it to progress with the support of the grant aid and the volunteers.
