Gwent wildlife trust

9:53am Thursday 24th July 2008

The Chepstow Group of Gwent Wildlife Trust has run two events as part of the Chepstow Festival.  The wide-ranging Festival publicity always guarantees some extra interest, but it was still startling when 60 people turned out on a very indifferent, grey evening to take part in the walk at Mathern.  Unfortunately, owing to safety concerns, it was necessary to alter the route of the walk and apologies are due to those who were disappointed in this; however, the new route followed a very scenic and interesting series of paths, making walkers and members realise what beautiful countryside lies behind the well-known roads and villages. Some handsome trees were identified,  different types of grassland discussed, and some helpful tips on bird identification were given.
