Rhododendron Clearance – Snowdonia Society and The Dref Werdd


Rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum) is an invasive species to Wales. In a partnership between the Snowdonia Society and Y Dref Werdd an area in Tanygrisiau will be cleared of the invasive species. Y Dref Werdd is a lottery funded environmental community project in the Bro Ffestiniog area. One of many projects Y Dref Werdd has is the ‘Rhododendron Clearance and Control project’ which intends on clearing areas where Rhododendron is present. Our aim is to free the area from this invasive species by cutting the branches using bow saws and loppers.
