A foundational element of the Stori Wyllt project has been to foster strong relationships between the schools, creatives and naturalists. This is why the initial Stori Wyllt Symposiwm was so important; an opportunity for practitioners to meet each other and ask questions.
On a gloriously sunny Thursday afternoon, I met up with ecologist Sheena Duller, artist Marian Haf and headteacher at Ysgol Llanarth, Jannette Jones.
We walked first past the village pond
And then paste the LΓ΄n Cambria National Cycle Route, to the Afon Ystwyth. It is quite a magical place, and there was a studied silence amidst the barrage of ideas for workshops.
There are so many habitats in such a small area – a large body of still water, hedgerows, scrubby undergrowth, a stone beach and a river. And thatβs before you look at the school grounds and the new wildlife forest garden!
