We’re a charity with a mission to create more woodland burial grounds. Can you help us do this? Do you own any land on Anglesey? Do you know of any small plots of land for sale there? (about 2 acres) – with good road access? We have looked carefully at one possible site, but it is very expensive. To keep our costs down we are still looking.
November in the Wood – Newsletter 138
It’s been years since I walked through the wood at night. On Bonfire Night it was silent apart from a burst of harsh bird-sound, you couldn’t call it song. Ravens, perhaps? We’ve seen them flying in the day-time. Leafless trees stood still, tall black skeletons under a starry sky; it seemed as though the only creatures in motion were my little dog Baskerville and me.

September in the Wood – Newsletter 137
Today was golden, beautiful. The wood was the best place to be. I’m so glad it’s been raining! The fungi had all but disappeared after the recent hot weather and I was worried that there would be nothing to find next Sunday, when Charles Aron is coming to the wood to teach us about them.

Midsummer in the wood – Newsletter 136 – Summer 2023
Phew! It’s been hot! Last week, yet again, Porthmadog (15 miles from the wood) was declared the hottest place in Britain. But we have the answer: go for a walk in a wood. If you’re too far from Boduan to walk in our lovely wood, find another – because the temperature in woodland is substantially lower than it is on surrounding land that doesn’t have trees.

The days are longer than the nights – Newsletter 135 – Spring 2023
It’s Spring time! It really is Spring at last! The nights are getting ever shorter and the sun rises higher in the sky each day, illuminating places that have been shaded for the last six months, bringing light and life and joy. March is not going out like a lamb but the wind gusting through the trees doesn’t have icy teeth any more. Or not today!
