Banc Farm and Brynllywelyn Farm – South Wales Division

CHANGE OF AFTERNOON LOCATION: This is a two site event. In the morning, we will look at productive woodland creation at Banc Woodlands. After lunch, we will now visit Brynllywelyn Farm to compare woodland creation on an upland farm.

Abergorlech, SA19 7RA

The morning visit is hosted by Tilhill Forestry Ltd and will look at how productive woodland creation integrates at a landscape scale, inclusive of access and recreation.  Due to the effects of Storm Darragh we are no longer able to visit Brechfa Forest Garden.  However, by kind invitation of Tim Joynson, we will visit Brynllywelyn to look at woodland creation on an upland farm with both timber and carbon as major drivers.  Early 2000’s Douglas Firs currently thinned using low impact forest machinery.
