MORE THAN 22,000 PEOPLE, including primary school children,

have written to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon calling for

a Scottish Environment Act to protect Scotland’s nature

and ensure Brexit doesn’t roll back crucial environmental

protections.

The calls come at a time of renewed focus on

environmental issues, with the Scottish Government

committing to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions

by 2045, reversing plans to cut air passenger duty and

announcing a deposit return system for drinks containers.

But campaigners fear that with 80% of Scotland’s

environmental protections stemming from EU membership,

Brexit could unravel much of the legislation that helps us

safeguard our wildlife and take action to tackle problems like

air pollution. This could be detrimental at a time when our

environment is in crisis, in Scotland and across the globe.

A Scottish Government consultation seeking views on the

measures that will be required to ensure that environmental

standards are retained in the event of Brexit closed in May.

THE MOST REMOTE HOSTEL in

Wales – Ty’n Cornel hostel

in the Cambrian mountains

of mid-Wales – has achieved

its 10,000th overnight

stay since it was rescued

from closure by volunteers.

The prize for the 10,000th

overnight was awarded on

18th May to three cyclists –

Bryan Donoghue, Howard

Smith, and Damian Bevan –

by the warden Bill Hine.

Ty’n Cornel is a 16-bed

hostel situated at the

head of the Doethie valley.

The building is a former

farmhouse built around the

middle of the 19th Century.

The hostel has welcomed

walkers, cyclists, and other

visitors since 1967, and since

2007 it has been operated

entirely by volunteers

through Elenydd Wilderness

Hostels (EWH), a charitable

trust.

Ty’n Cornel hostel

managers Richard and Janet

Hollins said: “It’s always

gratifying to see visitors

enjoying their first stay at our

hostels – for many of them

it’s a whole new experience

to stay in such a beautiful,

remote location. We look

forward to welcoming many

more visitors to Ty’n Cornel!”
