Some of the team spent a couple of days at the wonderful @DTEProject last week when the sun was still shining! We participated in a range of outdoor hands on activities and learned more about the ethos and research behind the projects - thoroughly enjoyed by all!

Collaboration and connection are what make #volunteering so powerful. #Volunteers don’t just improve the lives of people around them by giving up their time, they also gain so much from the experience themselves. That’s why we love this quote from a @DTEProject #volunteer!

This week, the Treherbert group continued improving their woodwork skills creating their planters. Lots of discussion on how trees store carbon. We can use the wood from trees more efficiently to help stop #ClimateChange @InnovateTrust @RCTCAN @TNLComFundWales @TNLUK @DTEProject

Another fab day with @DTEProject continuing with the book shelf and learning about carbon capture. The group also decided to create a planter and chose 4 trees to plant🌳👍
@InnovateTrust @RCTCAN @TNLComFundWales @TNLUK
ALT Post its showing the group's ideas for a new product they can create from wood rather than it being burned and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Ideas included planters, key rings and benches

Today we celebrated our time @OurHealthMeadow with @DTEProject. It was fantastic to celebrate successes and the friendships built. It was also sad to say goodbye. Thank you to @Health_Charity and @Cardiothoraci14 for making the groups possible. @CV_UHB @WelshGovernment

Today our @CV_UHB Board approved my 5th & final DPH report. All of us, individuals, families, communities & in our organisations, need to take action to reconnect to & restore, nature before it’s too late. Read recommendations 👇🏻. Thanks so much to @OliWilliams86 for your work.
The latest Director of Public Health Report from @Fiona_Kinghorn, entitled Recall of the Wild, focuses on our 'nature emergency' and how we can reconnect with and restore nature for our health and wellbeing. Read the full report here orlo.uk/E5DuZ

Great to hear @OurHealthMeadow being discussed in Dublin. Our partnership with @DTEProject has enabled us to focus on health and wellbeing in nature with our patients, colleagues, and local community.💚

The new Roundhouse was opened at the old brewery site up Cwm Saerbren in Treherbert today. It’s so bloody cool! The cockleshell floor, the green man in the ceiling, the greenest grass biochar roofing.
@DTEProject have done an amazing job along with all the @W_2_R_Woods volunteers
