Gwaith Caled Gwirfoddolwyr
Cymdeithas Eryri yn ennill prif wobr. |
Hardworking
Snowdonia Society volunteers scoop major
award. |
|
Mae gwirfoddolwyr
amgylchedd y Gymdeithas Eryri, sydd wedi ei sefydlu yng Nghapel Curig,
wedi derbyn gwobr clodfawr gan 'Cadw Cymru'n Daclus', y prif fudiad o fewn
Cymru sy’n hyrwyddo amgylchedd glan a di-ysbwriel. Teithiodd Paul Lewis,
Cyd- drefnydd Gwirfoddolwyr y Gymdeithas, i Ganolfan Mileniwm Cymru yng
Nghaerdydd ar y 14eg o Orffennaf, i dderbyn y wobr 'Ymdrech Hir Dymor' ar
ran y gwirfoddolwyr oddi wrth Weinidog Cynulliad Llywodraeth Cymru Carwyn
Jones. |
Environmental
volunteers with Capel Curig based Snowdonia Society have received a
prestigious award from Keep Wales Tidy, the major organisation within
Wales promoting a clean and litter free environment. Paul Lewis the
Society’s Volunteer Coordinator travelled to Wales’ Millenium Centre in
Cardiff on 14th July, to receive the ‘Long Term Effort’ award
on behalf of the volunteers from the Welsh Assembly Government Minister
Carwyn Jones. |
|
Fe wobrwywyd y
Gwirfoddolwyr a'r wobr gyntaf a dystysgrif mewn ffram a £500 fel yr
ymgeiswyr buddugol yn eu categori. Mae gwirfoddolwyr y Gymdiethas wedi bod
yn herio tywydd anrhagweladwy ac, yn aml, heriol Eryri ers tros ddeng
mlynedd, mewn cais i dacluso rhannau o'r Parc Cenedlaethol sydd yn dioddef
o ysbwriel, ysbwriel anghyfreithlon, a mannau hyll. |
The
Volunteers were awarded the first prize of a framed certificate and a £500
award as the winning entrants in their category. Society volunteers have
been braving Snowdonia’s unpredictable and often challenging weather and
environment for well over ten years, in their quest to clear up areas of
the National Park suffering from litter, fly tipping and
eyesores. |

Dywedodd Paul
Lewis, "Mae'n wych derbyn y wobr hon ar ran ein gwirfoddolwyr sydd yn
gweithio'n galed ac yn ymroddedig, mae'n wobr gwych am eu holl ymdrech
dros y blynyddoedd. Yn anffodus mae cadw amgylchedd syfrdanol naturiol
Eryri yn daclus ac yn rhydd o ysbwriel ac ysbwriel angyfreithlon yn dasg
sydd ohoni oherwydd diffyg parch pobl am y man ysbrydoledig hwn. Yn ffodus
bydd gwirfoddolwyr bob amser yn barod i roi eu hamser i roi cymorth i gadw
amgylchedd Eryri yn hyfryd, iddynt eu hunain ac i eraill sydd yn caru'r
tir am ei mynyddoedd, llynoedd, ei ffriddoedd a'i
choedwigoedd." |
Paul
Lewis said, “It is great to
receive this award on behalf of our hardworking and dedicated volunteers
and it is a great reward for all their efforts over the years. Keeping the
stunning natural environment of Snowdonia clean and free of litter and fly
tipping is unfortunately an ongoing task as there are still people out
there with no respect for this inspiring place. Fortunately there will
always be volunteers keen to give up their own time to help keep the
environment of Snowdonia beautiful, both for themselves and for others who
love this land of mountains, lakes, moor land and
forest”. |

I ddangos natur
gwaith grwp gwirfoddolwyr Eryri, fe gyfarfu grwp ohonynt yn ne y Parc
Cenedlaethol diwrnod wedi'r seremoni wobrwyo i daclo ceir wedi eu gadael
ac oedd wedi heintio glan Afon Wnion ers nifer o flynyddoedd. Fe gyfarfu'r
gwirfoddolwyr ger pentref Brithdir a gweithio ar y cyd gyda Wardeniaid
Awdurdod y Parc a gweithwyr Ystadau i symud nifer o'r cerbydau. O achos
natur serth glan yr afon a phwysau rhai o'r echelau a darnau'r corff,
cafodd system winsh a phwli ei gosod. Cafodd yr eitemau lleiaf eu llwytho
mewn sachau un tunell a'u tynnu i fyny'r glan. Erbyn diwedd y dydd roedd y
ceir rhydlud a'r darnau erailll wedi eu rhoi mewn sgip oedd yn eu haros
ynghyd a pentwr o ffensys rhydlud. |
To
illustrate the ongoing nature of the Society’s volunteer work, a group of
them met up in the south of the National Park on the day following to
awards ceremony to tackle dumped vehicles that had blighted the banks of
the Afon Wnion for many years. The volunteers met near the village of
Brithdir and worked in conjunction with Park Authority Wardens and Estate
workers to remove the various vehicles. Due to the steep nature of the
river bank and the weight of some of the axles and body parts, a winch and
pulley system was set up. All the smaller items were loaded into ‘one
tonne’ sacks and hauled up the bank. By the end of the day all the rusting
vehicles and parts had been consigned to a waiting skip as well as a pile
of rusty fencing. |

Fe
barhaodd Paul Lewis Cyd-drefnydd Gwirfoddolwyr, "Mae hwn wedi bod yn
dacluso gwych, ond eto ni fyddai wedi ei gyflawni heb gydweithrediad
perchennog y tir a
chymorth Awdurdod y Parc. Mae hyn yn dangos beth all gael ei gyflawni trwy
bartneriaeth yn gweithio rhwng gwahanol awdurdodau. Mae'r darn gwastad ar
hyd glan afon hyfryd Wnion
unwaith eto fel newydd ac mae'r gwirfoddolwyr wedi cyflawni diwrnod
gwerthfawr arall o waith". |
Paul
Lewis the Volunteer Coordinator continued, “This has been an excellent clear
up, yet it could not have been achieved without the cooperation of the
landowner and the assistance of the Park Authority. This goes to show what
can be achieved through partnership working between different
organisations. The stretch of bank alongside the beautiful Afon Wnion is
now pristine once more and the volunteers have completed another valuable
day’s work”. |
