Environment Partnership Launch




As part of a series of events to celebrate the launch of the Merthyr Tydfil Environment Partnership, an Indiana Jones Evening was held in Trefechan. Local residents were able to meet a variety of native and exotic animals and find out about wildlife and nature in both Merthyr Tydfil and further afield.

Our thanks go to the support of Rolf Brown from Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, Groundwork Merthyr and RCT and Chris's Pets of Merthyr Tydfil.

48th Annual Trefechan and Cefn Coed Gardeners Show


This years 48th annual Trefechan and Cefn Coed Gardeners Association show was opened by Professor Mansel Aylward CB. Unfortunately the number of entries was down this year due to the inclement weather we have experienced, however the show was well supported as usual by the local community. We hope to experience better weather next year as we head to our fiftieth anniversary show.
