Carmel Woods & Gwenlais Valley

Legend has it that at the time of Wales’ greatest need, a bell snail ring and Owein Llawgoch (the Welsh equivalent of Arthur) will rise to save the country and people against its oppressors. The time is nigh, and already the troops are gathering. The Gweniais Valley is a battleground between the Greed Mercants of Alfred McAipine Quarry Products Ltd and those who understand the value of beauty and wildlife..

The area is of international importance: it includes ancient woodland, an ephemeral lake, caves, ancient artifacts and myths and legends. To prepare for possible direct action, on the 18th & 19th of November local campaigners got together in the valley to discuss the role of NVDA in their campaign. Activists from Oxford EF! came along to give their personal view of NVDA and examples. Actions are now being planned! Oxford activists then went to the FoE Cymru AGM in Cardiff and gave workshops on NVDA. People now intend to use these tactics in their local campaigns.
