Ann with our Guest speaker Katie Piercy

Ein siaradwraig wadd ar Fehefin 21ain oedd KatiePiercy.

Mae Katie yn gweithio i Gyngor Sir Ddinbych fel Swyddog Bio-Amrywiaeth. 

Mae rhai aelodau Clwb Rotary Dinbych wedi bod yn gwirfoddoli gyda Katie a'i grŵp i blannu blodau gwyllt mewn ardaloedd dynodedig ac i ail-botio eginblanhigion blodau gwyllt ac ychydig o goed ffawydd brodorol yn nhwneli polythen y prosiect.

Daeth Katie i siarad â ni am ei gwaith, gan egluro pam fod Sir Ddinbych wedi cychwyn ar brosiect ail-wylltio a dangos yr ardaloedd planedig ar fapiau.Mae'r Deyrnas Unedig wedi eu rhestru'n eithaf isel o ran dolydd a ffiniau gwyllt, ar ôl colli o leiaf 95% o'n planhigion gwyllt a'n pryfed, gan ddod yn ddiwylliant mono ffermio. Mae prosiectau ail-wylltio ledled y DU yn cael eu cynnal i geisio mynd i'r afael â'r broblem hon. Mae coridorau blodau gwyllt yn cael eu creu ar hyd ymylon ffyrdd, mewn pocedi bach o dir mewn ardaloedd trefol, gyda’r syniad o’u cysylltu yn y pendraw, gan greu llwybrau i fywyd gwyllt fyw ochr yn ochr â thir ffermio ac ardaloedd trefol. Mae'r blodau gwyllt a'r gweiriau'n edrych yn ddeniadol iawn, gan gyflwyno lliw a gwead ychwanegol i'r dirwedd.

Ar gylchfan yn Ninbych mae tegeirian prin wedi blodeuo eleni ac mae llawer o blanhigion eraill yn gwneud ymddangosiad eto. Siaradodd Katie yn dda ac roedd yn bwll o wybodaeth, roedd ei chyflwyniad yn ddiddorol iawn, ac fe wnaeth ein hannog i fynd ar wefan Sir Ddinbych ar dudalen y prosiect i ddysgu mwy amdano.Mae angen gwirfoddolwyr bob amser ar gyfer plannu yn y dyfodol ym mis Hydref.


Our guest speaker on June 21st, Katie Piercy.

Katie works for Denbighshire County Council as a Bio Diversity Officer.

A few Rotarians have been volunteering with Katie and her group to plant wildflowers in designated areas and to re-pot wild flower seedlings and a few native beech trees in their project base's polytunnels.

Katie came to talk to us about her work, explaining why Denbighshire have embarked on a re-wilding project and showing the planted areas on maps. The United Kingdom is ranked quite low with regard to wild meadows and borders, having lost at least 95% of our wild plants and insects, becoming a farming mono culture. Re-wilding projects throughout the UK are taking place to try and address this problem. Wild flower corridors are being created alongside road verges, in little pockets of land in urban areas, with the idea of linking them eventually, creating paths for wildlife to live alongside farming land and urban areas. The wildflowers and grasses look very attractive, introducing added colour and textures to the landscape. 

On a roundabout in Denbigh a rare orchid has bloomed this year and many other plants are making an appearance again.Katie spoke well and was a mine of information, her presentation was very interesting, and she encouraged us to go on the Denbighshire web site on the project to learn more about it. Volunteers are always needed for future planting in October.
