Description
River Restoration - why the Church in Wales is involving itself in tackling the crisis facing Wales’ rivers and waterways To celebrate World Curlew Day (21st April) we meet a visual artist in Montgomeryshire who compares the plight of the Curlew to that of the now extinct Great Auk and fears for the eventual extinction of both the curlew and the village hall! Birds of Conservation Concern in Wales - the Curlew is on the Red List of Species as is our bird of the month this April - the Bittern. We hear how the reed beds at Newport Wetlands are contributing to something of a success story as their fortunes are slowly, but surely, being turned around. Cockles - how two boys are getting out in nature and keeping the tradition of cockle picking alive on the Burry inlet and the Great Glamorgan Sock Project showcasing the different sheep breeds with woolly socks!
