This week we’re sharing new material received in 2025.
This is a page from an accident book for Parc & Dare Colliery, Cwmparc, Rhondda, 1898-1900. It records deaths and accidents, including reports on injuries to children, such as this one to William Haydn Lewis, who was 12 years old at the time.

It always feels a bit sacrilegious to me to dig trial pits in the bog but needs must to check how deep in the peat the oxidation was at the upper Cwmparc peat site and if we can actually make the bunds we proposed. Several pits and von posts later, I think we can. Here’s the upper 20-30cm ish ⬇️

Managed to find some winter sun for site walkovers at our Cwmparc peat restoration site yesterday. Almost immediately after three of my colleagues left, when it had been raining and foggy all the time they were on site. Still nice to not be at a desk even in awful weather!

First field day in a while this week at probably my favourite peat site of the year at Cwmparc. We managed to find some incredible macrofossils preserved close to the boundary with the underlying clay and bedrock strata. Almost intact Sphagnum plants with entire stem and branch sections! Great fun

Some amazing #peat macro fossils today at Cwmparc when augering with @bootlegbryos.bsky.social . Plenty of sphagnum, occasional bilberry and sedge I think!

Walk to celebrate Gategate win
It was a joy to walk the path to the hills above Treorchy, in Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT), free of the locked gates which prevented people’s lawful passage for 116 days. These were removed on 13 …

Very atmospheric (c.f. rainy) day out in the Rhondda doing water vole surveys for Lost Peatlands sites at Mynyndd Ton and then Cwmparc. Great to have @inccymru.bsky.social with us as well for the day. Been a while since I’ve been in the Cwm and it’s fantastic, despite the razor sharp tussock sedge

Awesome video! One of my favourite views from the top of the Bwlch over Cwmparc, always stunning. I dug around in the glam archives a year or so ago to try and find the original documents for the construction of that road and on Beili Glas because they went through the peat on top of the mountain

First record of Drosera rotundifolia from the Lost Peatlands surveys at Cwmparc today which was great to see, especially after around 70-80 quadrats with no Sphagnum and very limited mire species on deep peat!

@britishspiders.bsky.social is this record useful for you guys? Not a hectad shown on the current distribution map as far as I can tell. Can give you an exact grid ref for it but it’s on top of a plateau near Cwmparc, Rhondda

Not as much of a heatwave this week but I did stumble on this Agelena labyrinthica (labyrinth spider) on my peatland survey travels at Cwmparc. Seemed to be the only one around, and at 530m that’s the highest elevation I’ve ever found one at, so that’s interesting.

Fabulous views, as always, from Cwmparc looking over the basin where there is - wait for it - more peat. Great site to come up with a plan to manage a whole upland to lowland transition with peat at every step. Highlight of the day, sea campion on the cliff, unusual for a peat survey in the Valleys

Friday 13 June was lucky for some. It was the day the gates, which were illegally obstructing a public path in Treorchy, Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT), came down. Cwmparc, which is part of Treorchy, nest…
