THS past weekend, the young people of Milford Youth Matters embarked on an exciting camping trip to Cymbrogi, a site renowned for its stunning natural beauty and educational opportunities. Located in the heart of Pembrokeshire National Park, near the tranquil Cleddau estuary, Cymbrogi offered the perfect setting for a weekend of outdoor adventure and learning.

For the second year in a row, Milford Youth Matters chose Cymbrogi as their camping destination, drawn by its vast, scenic landscapes and the freedom it provides for exploration and play. The site, which spans 12 acres and encompasses diverse ecosystems, once again proved to be an ideal spot for the group to disconnect from their devices and immerse themselves in nature.

Over the weekend, the young campers enjoyed a range of activities that made full use of the expansive woodlands and open spaces. One of the standout experiences was a cooking session where the group prepared banana pancakes and vegetable sushi. This activity not only brought the group together but also served as a lesson in reducing food waste and composting, aligning with Cymbrogi’s emphasis on sustainability.

The camping menu balanced simple favourites like bacon rolls, burgers, and the ever-popular pot noodle with more creative dishes, ensuring that everyone was well-fed and energised for their adventures. The trip was filled with moments of joy and connection, as the young people embraced the opportunity to play and explore in a setting that encourages creativity and learning.

Cymbrogi’s unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance—being linked to figures such as John Lort-Stokes of the HMS Beagle—provided an enriching backdrop for the weekend. The site’s commitment to fostering a deep connection with nature made it an exceptional environment for the youths of Milford to learn and grow.

As Milford Youth Matters looks back on another successful camping trip, they are already planning their next visit to Cymbrogi. The experiences and memories made during this weekend will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on all who attended, reinforcing the value of outdoor education and the importance of preserving such special places.

In partnership with Keep Wales Tidy Pembrokeshire, the initiative aims to create a cleaner, greener town centre while promoting environmental responsibility and community pride.

The event marks a collective effort to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a litter-free environment and highlights the far-reaching benefits of a cleaner town centre.

The organisation says that a cleaner, more attractive town centre is key to drawing visitors and potential investors.

This initiative is expected to stimulate economic activity, benefiting local businesses and encouraging growth in Milford Haven.

The project not only enhances the town’s appearance but also instils a sense of pride among residents. By improving cleanliness, the initiative aims to encourage more community participation in local events and activities.

Reducing litter has significant environmental benefits, including:

Protecting Wildlife: Preventing harm to animals caused by ingestion or entanglement.
Cleaner Air and Water: Reducing pollution in streets and waterways, fostering healthier ecosystems.
Sustainable Practices: Encouraging recycling and proper waste disposal to cut down on the town’s environmental footprint.
Creating Green Spaces: Supporting the development of habitats, recreational areas, and improved air quality for residents.

The Milford Haven Business Circle believes this initiative will set a strong example for other communities, demonstrating the power of collective action in fostering a sustainable future.

By joining this movement, participants can contribute to making Milford Haven a shining example of environmental care and community cooperation. Let’s work together to transform our town into a cleaner, greener space for all to enjoy.
