I just signed the petition 'Save the Cwrtycadno Valley'. This is what they are trying to prevent.
**************************
The Cwrtycadno and upper Cwm Cothi valley in Wales is an ancient area of exceptional beauty within a council designated Special Landscape Area and CADW designated Registered Historic Landscape. But it is currently under threat of being irreversibly destroyed.
A Guernsey incorporated private equity company, Foresight Group Holdings Ltd, registered in The Shard in London, has bought up an entire farm, Frongoch, in the centre of the valley. Their original plan was to blanket plant commercial, non-native conifers over most of the existing fields and hillside, selling off carbon credits to their financial investors for profit.
Such a proposed plantation would destroy productive agricultural land, both on the valley floor and on the hilltop, which has been sustainably sheep farmed for generations. A monoculture tree species of Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir would detrimentally impact on native biodiversity and local ecosytems. It would irreversibly ruin the landscape of the valley.
Disturbingly, despite being incorporated off-shore, Foresight are also applying for Welsh tax payer money to cover their costs of the planting.
***********************
I've already emailed our MS, Rebecca Evans. Hopefully the rest of you will do the same and email your Senedd member to ask them to prevent this criminal act.

OK, I've signed it but I have to ask, why would the Senedd allow this or is it part of their great tree planting plan? | |

Done.
Incorporated offshore and applying to the Senedd for tax payers money to assist with the planting.
I have no issues with government supporting environmental causes, but companies should be transparent and paying taxes here to benefit from Government support. | | | |

Could be part of Drakeford plan, wasn't it recently announced that everyone in Wales would be given a tree to plant. |  |

There have been many stories recently of Welsh farms being bought up for this purpose (you're probably aware of this).
I don't understand how it can be allowed to happen or if it can be stopped. When Rebecca Evans replies to me i'll let you know what she says. In the meantime, as I said earlier, it wouldn't do any harm if you all pestered your MS reps with the same complaint. | | | |

I have seen stories of farms being bought, and of farms being fined stupid amounts because trees were planted a few inches out.
I have emailed my MS, its Jeremy Miles, likewise, I shall let you know when/if I get a response. | |

Does the tree come with garden in which to plant it also I see a bit of a problem for those living in Dyfatty flats and similar abodes | |

I didn't write the book mind you, I know there is a lot of things you don't know (I can tell by the way you write on a range of topics), the title thread is a book and certain people are not seen in a good light in the book, in case you don't realise it it's not my book.  | |

I don't know very much, neither do you. Even very clever, very intelligent people will tell you that in the grand scheme they don't know very much.
What I do know is, you often snipe at the English and you do like to talk up the Russians.
If you were half as clever as you think you are, you'd be twice as clever as you actually are.
I'm fully aware of the Chartists but we aren't living in the 1830's. Well maybe some of us are. | |

My tip to you is don't fall for the propoganda, Blighty is not always in the right and Johnny Foreigner is not always in the wrong, we are not always great at everything and they are not always rubbish at everything. | |
