The origins of
Dolydd Gobaith
From sheep pasture to community asset
2019: Land for sale
30 acres of upland sheep pasture came up for sale in Pen-Y-Garnedd, Montgomeryshire.
2020: CIC established
Fferm Goedwig Gymunedol Dyffryn Tanat Valley Community Forest Farm Community Interest Company was established in September 2020.
2021: Land purchased
In February 2021 the land finally changed hands and became a community asset.
New name
We held a competition for an appropriate name for the land that was less of a mouthful than the official name. The winning entry was Dolydd Gobaith (Meadows of Hope).
