Upcoming public moth night at Dyfnant Forest. Saturday 14th June 2025.

 Hi all,

This is an advance reminder for the evening event Montgomeryshire Moth Group will be holding at Rainbow Trails, Pen-Y-Ffordd.  It is a fairly remote part of the Dyfnant forest, being on its southern fringe. 

Consisting of a mosaic of conifer, Birch/Alder scrub and carr. This covers a large part of the survey area. There is also an area of regenerating clear-fell. It is a very good moth-ing site.

The usual suitable clothing, footwear and hand/head torch are advised as for an outdoor, night time event. Midge repellent recommended.

You will need to bring your own refreshments.

Directions

From Welshpool, take the A458 towards Dolgellau. Just after Llangadfan, turn RIGHT onto the B4395, signposted Llanfyllin.
