The first section of Llwybr Coedwig Cymru Trail has opened.

Confor has launched a national campaign to draw attention to one simple fact: Timber Security IS National Security.
The UK’s reliance on imported wood is a threat to multiple political priorities. We are calling for action to safeguard this vital resource for future generations.
