A once heavily-grazed field on the edge of Snowdonia is set to become a beautiful and diverse wildflower meadow after a successful crowdfunding campaign
Residents in north Wales decided to act to help a local patch of land flourish. They hope their successful crowdfunding campaign will help them continue restoring this “beautiful meadow”.
Locals launched the Gweld y ddôl – Seeing the meadow – project with Crowdfunder to work on the Caer Ddôl meadow near Llanberis. It is also known locally as Castle Meadow or Dol’s Meadow. They raised £1,000 from 19 supporters in 28 days.
The meadow is popular with tourists and local dog walkers, but the Friends of Cae’r Ddôl say some visitors are ‘plant blind’ and “unaware of the wonder of the flowers beneath their feet”. The team wants to encourage people to ‘see’ the meadow for what they say it is: an “ecological wonder”.
