Great news from Wales


















Mynydd y Gwair by David Bellamy

After 7 years of fighting to save this upland area, the SOCME group have sent out a Press Release to express their delight that the Welsh Assembly has not granted planning permission for the Mynydd y Gwair Wind Farm.

How sad it is that Mal Davies and Jan Mosely, who fought so hard to save the mountain, are not alive to join the celebrations. Please take a look if you can at the website that Mal Davies set up: www.socme.org, and be grateful to all who fought to preserve this beautiful mountain for future generations to enjoy.

Go to the CARST website and read what Rory Stewart had to say about turbines in Cumbria.
How good it is to hear him speak up for some of those who campaign against the industrialisation of our most beautiful wildernesses.
