The first meeting of the first members of the Moelyci IPS came up with The Plan....

'Moelyci will be developed into a non-profit-making Centre for the practise and teaching of environmental matters. There will be a particular emphasis on social inclusion, involving and employing the disadvantaged and people with disabilities.'

The key to the Centre is the involvement and endorsement from the Local Community and the Community of supporters around the world.

Moelyci is run for and by members of the Community so the Community can collectively help to decide on the way forward for the Centre.

The links in the Main Menu (on the left side of every page) allow you to see what we are doing.

Conservation work on Moelyci mountain

April 2009

John Harold - Conservation Officer - Moelyci Environmental Centre

Many of you will have noticed that the next phase of work is underway to bring the heathland habitats on Moelyci mountain into a favourable condition.

Thanks to a donation from Black and Veatch environmental consultants we were able to bring in a specialist conservation contractor to carry out the cutting of heathland vegetation where western gorse Ulex gallii has been taking over, mostly on the southern and western sides of the mountain.
