WORKERS have been busy removing unwelcome weeds and plants that have been wreaking havoc on an Anglesey nature reserve. Dozens of volunteers have been helping with the removal of the plants that were threatening to take over the Dingle in Llangefni, one of the island's most ancient woodlands. One of the most notorious to be removed in the clear-out was the Himalayan Balsam, which grows to three metres high and can produce around 800 seeds per plant. The plant is a real danger to native wild species. Employees from the Isle of Anglesey County Council's planning department gave up their lunch hour to join volunteers to help rid the reserve of this nuisance. They were joined by one of the directors of Cwmni Tref Llangefni, Gwynne Morris Jones, Edel Byrne, who is currently working as the artist-in-residence at Oriel M n, and the County Council's Head of Planning, Jim Woodcock. The event follows on from a similar clearing projects with volunteers from the Llangefni Scout troop and New Deal. Volunteers from Gweithdy Mona have also planned a clearing event. |
