Volunteers refurbish signs at popular Rhyl nature reserve

Denbighshire County Council’s countryside team alongside volunteers have been hard at work to refurbish signs at Brickfield ponds nature reserve.

Working alongside Nature for Health they worked to improve the interpretation signs across the reserve that were previously in disrepair.

Nature for Health is a collaborative project that engages with individuals and communities to promote how access to nature can improve health and wellbeing.

The programme welcomes people of all abilities to get involved with conservation and take part in a range of activities.

Brickfield Nature Reserve was supported by the Nature for Health Programme which was funded by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund.

Timber framing sessions were organised at the Willow Collective to construct the frame and legs for the refurbished map of Brickfields Pond.

Volunteers also sanded and painted the signs at the workshop on the nature reserve before placing them back up on the site.

Emlyn Jones, Head of Planning, Public Protection and Countryside Service said:

“I’d like to thank our countryside team and the volunteers for their hard work in replacing the signs at Brickfields ponds nature reserve.

“Brickfields ponds is a popular nature reserve in the county and the volunteers and staff have made a real positive difference for the community who visit the site.”
