COCA community farm starts

Caerhys Organic Community Agriculture (COCA) is a community supported agriculture scheme based at Caerhys Farm in Berea and is theΒ result of meetings between Caerhys farmer, Gerald Miles, and St Davids Eco City Group. At the time it was the only scheme of its kind in Pembrokeshire.

Another successful and fun beach clean at Porthlysgi yesterday afternoon in cracking weather! Thanks to the 8 volunteers who helped to record all the litter we picked up (mostly small pieces of fishing net and fishing line). This data will go to Marine Conservation-Society to help them lobby for positive change. We also had lots of engagement with members of the public enjoying the beach and some were inspired to pick up the litter around where they were sitting and add it to our haul. #beachcleans #leavenotrace #EcoDewi #MCS #porthlysgi ...

Thank you to Roch Community School for being AMAZI Thank you to Roch Community School for being AMAZING and letting their front lawns grow long and become #MiniMeadows! πŸ’™We've just put up two #bluehearts to show it's deliberate and it was brilliant to see the variety of flowers growing this morning; red clover, white clover, plantain, knapweed, self-heals, ragwort, buttercups, birdsfoot trefoil, thistles, dandelions and daisies. Even better to see bees enjoying the wildflowers! 🐝 More is still to flower and this is all by just letting it grow long ... easy! Very exciting to now be working with Headteacher Carl Evans to plan how we can improve it as a mini meadow for next year. Anyone can do this and let us know how you get on. @pembrokeshirecountycouncil @plantlifecymru #meadows #wildflowers #primaryschools #biodiversity #nature #lovenature
