Pobl Ifanc yn Rhoi Cynnig ar Weithgareddau Coedwigaeth a Rheoli Cefn Gwlad

Cynhaliwyd amrywiaeth o weithgareddau ar gyfer y plant uwchradd, er mwyn eu hysbrydoli i ystyried gyrfa yn y diwydiant. O ymweld â’r felin lifio ar y safle a defnyddio’r efelychydd coedwigaeth, i ddod i adnabod coed a’r rhywogaethau amrywiol, cafodd y bobl ifanc gipolwg go iawn ar y sector.

Roedd pwysig yn y diwydiant, megis Prifysgol Bangor a Chyngor Cefn Gwlad Cymru hefyd wrth law i drafod cyfleoedd gwaith gyda’r bobl ifanc.

Dywedodd Jeff Rowland Hughes, Pennaeth Coedwigaeth a Rheolaeth Cefn Gwlad yng Ngholeg Glynllifon,

"Rydym yn ddiolchgar iawn i'r Gymdeithas Goedwigaeth Frenhinol am drefnu'r diwrnod yma yng Ngholeg Glynllifon. Cafodd disgyblion ysgolion uwchradd lleol gyfle i ddysgu mwy am y sector cyffrous yma, sydd hefyd yn hynod bwysig i economi Cymru a galwadau Llywodraeth Cymru i ymateb i newid hinsawdd.

Ychwanegodd

“Roedd yn ddiwrnod llawn hwyl, ac yn gyfle i ddisgyblion ddysgu mwy am ein cyrsiau sydd ar gael, a’r cyfleoedd sydd ar gael iddynt wrth astudio’r pynciau hyn”

A range of activities were held for the secondary school children, in a bid to inspire them to consider a career within the industry. From visiting the on-site sawmill and using the forestry simulator, to getting to know trees and the various species, the young people were given a real insight into the sector.

Major employers in the industry, such as Bangor University and the Countryside Council for Wales were also on hand to discuss job opportunities with the young people.

Jeff Rowland Hughes, Head of Forestry and Countryside Management at Coleg Glynllifon, said,

"We are very grateful to the Royal Forestry Society for organising the day here at Coleg Glynllifon. The school pupils got to learn more about the exciting and growing sector, which is also extremely important to the Welsh economy and Welsh Government’s calls to respond to climate change”

He added

“The fun-filled day was an opportunity for pupils to learn more about our courses on offer, and the opportunities available to them when studying those subjects”
