Felin Uchaf - an Educational Centre for exploring ways of living and working in Creative Partnership, with each other and our Environment.

They began to transform the landscape through planting thousands of trees, reinstating hedgerows and wetland habitats and sculpting new eco buildings out of stone, earth, thatch and timber harvested locally.

On what used to be a bare, windswept site there are now a patchwork of small gardens and flowered meadows, a low green haze of young trees and the fruits of many people's labours:

paths that lead to secluded roundhouses,
to a subterranean hall where stories and songs and the arts are celebrated ,
to workspaces for the sharing of fine craftsmanship and
a community garden for people to cooperatively grow herbs and vegetables
in a sustainable, life enhancing way.

The Centre has become a valued resource for schools, community groups and volunteers, a place to reconnect with our land ourselves and each other....
