Planting yellow flag irises 🌱 We’re cutting Planting yellow flag irises 🌱

We’re cutting strips in the turf to plant the seedlings and give the plants a better chance of establishing. The turf then forms a little bank which will grass over and be useful for guiding where to mow and where to leave the canal banks to be wilder. The canal is absolutely brimming with ducklings and moorhen chicks at the moment and hopefully, in later seasons, these plants will give them some cover. #HinterlandWales #pontyddol

In the photos we can see Clinton, Veronika and Natasha. 
With huge thanks to Dan, David, Richard, Vaida, Claire, Tim and Laura who aren’t in the pictures and to Habitat Aid who supplied the plants @habitat_aid

Spring 2021 Hinterlands Wales is back! After a pau Spring 2021 Hinterlands Wales is back! After a pause due to covid-19 we’re thrilled to be back on the banks of the @monandbreccanal working with @canalandrivertrust @inournaturecic @rebeccachesneyartist & local residents to realise Pont-y-Ddôl, Bridge over the Meadow.’
 🌱
‘Pont-y-Ddol is a living artwork & new water’s edge habitat developed by Rebecca Chesney. We’re planting colourful ribbons of native flowers south of Pontymoile Basin to encourage more insects, birds, frogs and toads as well as changing the way the towpath is mowed & managed.
🌱
Planting week is underway and although we’re keeping the planting crew small due to current restrictions, we’d love to work with local residents to help us monitor the new habitats over the next 6 months. If you’d like to get involved in watching the habitats grow and change & spotting new species, with an artist-designed monitoring pack, please contact info@peak.cymru’ 
🌱
Hinterlands Wales is a project led by Peak and Canal & River Trust, supported by Arts Council of Wales, Colwinston Trust, Arts & Business Cymru and Foyle Foundation, inviting artists and Pontypool residents to explore Mon & Brecon canal as a space for creativity, biodiversity & wellbeing. 
🌱

Thank you to our brilliant friend and collaborator Thank you to our brilliant friend and collaborator Rachel Dunlop who leaves Peak this week to start a new role @createlondon 
 
For the past 4 years Rachel’s warmth, wicked sense of humour, care, intuition and precision has transformed Peak’s work with young people. We’ll miss you Rachel, it’s been an absolute joy to work together and we look forward to collaborating in different ways in the future. 
 
Here’s some Rachel highlights including wining the Marsh Award at the @engagevisualart National Conference in 2019, being a lead invigilator for Cymru yn Fenis / @walesinvenice and many experiments with mud, clay and cable ties.

Diolch i'n ffrind a'n cyd-weithiwr arbennig Rachel Dunlop, sy'n gadael Peak wythnos yma i ddechrau rôl newydd gyda @createlondon.
 
Dros y 4 mlynedd ddiwethaf mae cynhesrwydd, hiwmor, gofal, greddf a manylder Rachel wedi trawsffurfio gwaith Peak gyda phobl ifanc. Byddwn ni'n dy golli, Rachel; mae wedi bod yn bleser pur gweithio gyda'n gilydd, ac edrychwn ymlaen i gydweithredu mewn gwahanol ffyrdd eto.
 
Dyma rai o uchafbwyntiau Rachel, gan gynnwys ennill Gwobr Marsh yng nghynhadledd @engagevisualart yn 2019, bod yn brif oruchwyliwr yn Cymru yn Fenis, a phob math o arbrofion gyda mwd, clai a chysylltiadau cebl.
