Stock fencing works in the Elan Valley, Graig Fawr woodland

Description

Fencing around a c.60ha woodland on the side of Caban Coch reservoir, to the southwest of Rhayader (Grid ref SN919627). Part of this work is funded by The Woodland Investment Grant (TWIG) which is jointly funded by the Welsh Government and The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The remainder is funded by Dwr Cymru/Welsh Water, and separate quotes must be given for each part, see details below. The site is part-fenced but sections of fence need to be re-poled and some sections need to be repaired. New fencing is needed along the reservoir edge fence, across the northern boundary of the site, and along the top (eastern edge) of the wood to create a double fence. New fencing is also needed in order to fence out two streams within the site. Work should be completed by the end of July 2024. Note that any preparatory clearing work needs to be carried out outside of bird nesting season (between 1 September and 1 March).
