Living Ash and Laverbread

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Living Ash and Laverbread

A project to save our Ash trees, and a day to celebrate Welsh caviar.

We hear about the research project to identify ash trees with good tolerance to ash dieback to secure their future, and the first ever National Laverbread Day.

Calling all woodland owners and forestry managers, the Living Ash project wants your help find those trees that are resisting Ash Dieback Disease.  In Ceredigion, we hear about the chicken farm plans dividing a village. Paths to Wellbeing - the £1.2m funded Ramblers Cymru project, inspiring communities to take ownership of their local ‘milltir sgwar’ (square mile) and conserve it for generations to come.  How a big yellow van - nicknamed DORIS is reaching out to people in rural areas of Denbighshire to help tackle mental health issues.  And we're celebrating Laverbread, as the seaweed gets it's own National Day (April14th)
