This has come to my attention whilst wearing my work hat, but I thought I’d mention it here - if anyone is in these areas and fancies volunteering, there should be plenty of opportunity to practice your Welsh!

Details of how to register are on the page, but here’s some of the other info on there -

This is probably a bit to short notice for me especially as I’m not local to the area but this sounds really cool. Is this an annual thing do you know?

I think this might be, but the Snowdonia Society has lots of other volunteering opportunities throughout the year (not all come with a BBQ and band though!). Have a look here

Where will the Tree seed collection take place on the 12/9 please ?
Is there a particular site or do we arrange are own venue ? Thanks

The website suggests that its done with the woodland trust, so I’m guessing its on a site they manage. Either way probably easiest to contact the organisers via the website. Good luck!

As charlie-o says, you’ll need to contact the organisers themselves - this is not an event organised by SSiW so we have no further information (and I don’t work for them myself either - sorry if my opening statement gave that impression!)
