Pantycerdin
Felingwm Isaf
In 2024, we became land owners to 5 acres of ex-agricultural pasture in Felingwm Isaf, Carmarthenshire. We use 1 acre of the land for our composting project, to grow our own food, and to improve biodiversity of the land using sustainable methods. So far, we have planted 30 metres of mixed species native willow hedging, planted 400 native species broadleaf trees, and begun managing a mini-meadow. Visits to Pantycerdin are by appointment only.
