[scroll for English] #WythnosGenedlaetholyGwrychoedd 🌿 Mae gwrychoedd yn gwneud llawer mwy na nodi ffiniau, maent yn darparu cartrefi i fywyd gwyllt, yn cefnogi peillwyr ac yn helpu i gysylltu cynefinoedd ar draws ein cefn gwlad. Maent yn hanfodol ar gyfer natur, hinsawdd a bioamrywiaeth. Rydym yn dathlu eu pwysigrwydd yr wythnos hon, ac mae gennym gyhoeddiad arbennig yn dod yn fuan… 👀 Cadwch lygad allan! ------ #NationalHedgerowWeek 🌿 Hedgerows do so much more than mark boundaries, they provide homes for wildlife, support pollinators and help connect habitats across our countryside. They’re vital for nature, climate, and biodiversity. We’re celebrating their importance this week, and we’ve got a special announcement coming soon… 👀 Keep your eyes peeled!

Undoubtedly the worst one yet. I almost walked away from this - the smell was unbearable. Make sure you scroll all the way to the end on this one. This location is next to the @dwrcymruwelshwater treatment facility under Trefechan Bridge. This is not acceptable behaviour and areas like this need desperate maintenance. I’d be interested to know who’s responsible for this area as it hasn’t been maintained for at least a decade (some beer cans were over 10 years old) More accountability, more responsibility and more action is needed. Please like, share & comment so this reaches more people. BLOW THIS UP. @keepwalestidy @caruceredigion @dwrcymruwelshwater @surfersagainstsewage

[scroll for English] Diweddariad: Mae systemau Eco‑Ysgolion a Gwobrau’r Arfordir yn ôl ar waith Rydym yn falch o gadarnhau bod pob dolen i’n systemau Eco‑Ysgolion a Gwobrau’r Arfordir bellach yn weithredol eto. Fel cam rhagofalus, cafodd y dolenni eu diffodd dros dro tra bod problem a oedd yn effeithio ar seilwaith gweinyddion ehangach yn cael ei hymchwilio. Nid oes gennym unrhyw reswm i gredu bod unrhyw ddata o fewn ein hardaloedd ni o’r gweinydd wedi’i dorri, a hoffem ddiolch i bawb am eich amynedd tra bod hyn yn cael ei ddatrys. Os sylwch ar unrhyw beth nad yw’n edrych yn iawn, neu os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiynau, cysylltwch â’ch cyswllt arferol gyda Cadwch Gymru’n Daclus. ------ Update: Eco‑Schools and Coast Awards systems are back online We’re pleased to confirm that all links to our Eco‑Schools and Coast Awards online systems are now up and running again. As a precaution, they were temporarily switched off while an issue affecting wider server infrastructure was investigated. We have no reason to believe that any data within our areas of the server was breached, and we’d like to thank everyone for their patience while this was resolved. If you notice anything that doesn’t look quite right, or if you have any questions, please get in touch with your usual Keep Wales Tidy contact.

**Important update** We’re sorry to let you know that we currently don’t have access to the Eco‑Schools or Coast Awards online systems. As a precaution, the links from our website have been temporarily restricted while we work to resolve the issue. This disruption is linked to a recently reported security vulnerability affecting cPanel software that is being actively exploited across many websites, and we are taking appropriate steps to respond. We understand this may cause inconvenience and want to reassure you that we’re actively working on a solution and will share updates as soon as we can. Other areas of our website and online services are not affected. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with your usual Keep Wales Tidy contact.

**Diweddariad pwysig** Mae’n ddrwg gennym eich hysbysu nad oes gennym fynediad i systemau ar-lein Eco‑Sgolion na’r Gwobrau Arfordir ar hyn o bryd. Fel mesur rhagofalus, mae’r dolenni o’n gwefan wedi’u cyfyngu dros dro tra ein bod yn gweithio i ddatrys y mater. Mae’r aflonyddwch hwn yn gysylltiedig â bregusrwydd diogelwch a adroddwyd yn ddiweddar sy’n effeithio ar feddalwedd cPanel, sy’n cael ei gamfanteisio ar draws nifer o wefannau. Rydym yn cymryd y camau priodol i ymateb i’r sefyllfa. Rydym yn deall y gallai hyn achosi anghyfleustra ac rydym am eich sicrhau ein bod yn gweithio’n weithredol ar ateb a byddwn yn rhannu diweddariadau cyn gynted ag y bo modd. Nid yw adrannau eraill o’n gwefan a’n gwasanaethau ar-lein wedi’u heffeithio. Os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiynau neu bryderon, cysylltwch â’ch cyswllt Cadwch Gymru’n Daclus arferol. Diolch am eich amynedd a’ch dealltwriaeth.

Huge huge huge thanks to @abersurf for their hard work yesterday cleaning not one, but both beaches here in Aberystwyth. We managed to collect a fair amount of litter between us. It was great to meet such wonderful, like minded individuals who were keen to get involved. A huge thanks to @aberpoeth for allowing us to use the sauna to unwind afterwards. What a wonderful afternoon it was and another huge thank you to @mwdiproduction for the wonderful photos! We’re all about coming together as a community and yesterday really showed that. See ya at the next one! @surfersagainstsewage @keepwalestidy
