A Sense of Arrival at Coedydd AberCoedydd Aber's wooded valley culminating in a dramatic waterfall has attracted visitors since the 19th century.It is a place where there has been human occupation and management since very early times. One sign of this is the site of an Iron Age hill fort, another are the alder trees that were cut and fashioned in the valley to make the soles of clogs. There are important lichens, birds such as the pied flycatcher and animals including the badger and fox. Meetings were held with members of the local community and the management partnership of the reserve to discuss the project and to identify themes for interpretation. It was realised that the paths, walls and gates all relate to human use of the area whereas the animals that live there would have entirely different ways using the valley. Pupils from the primary school in nearby Llanfairfechan worked with artists Lynne Denman and David Lloyd to develop designs for an alternative map showing how animals use the valley. The Wild Paths Sculpture will be carved in wood by David Lloyd. |
