Mire, Henllys Bog Local Nature Reserve The dominant tussocks of purple moor-grass and invasive scrub have just been cut by a Gwent Wildlife Trust working party, and the cut vegetation removed in order to promote the growth of rare wetland plants. The blue pipe is to enable the subterranean water level to be assessed. Maps show the area as deciduous woodland but trees are found only on the edge of the Trust's reserve.
