Ymddiriedolaeth Elusennol Arfordir Penfro yn lansio prosiect Gwasgu Afalau 2026, diolch i gymorth gan Sefydliad Bluestone

Mae Ymddiriedolaeth Elusennol Arfordir Penfro yn falch o lansio prosiect ‘Gwasgu Afalau 2026’, gyda chymorth gan Gronfa Gymunedol Sefydliad Bluestone. Mae’r cyllid wedi galluogi’r Ymddiriedolaeth i brynu gwasgwr afalau Speidel 2.2kW trydan. Bydd y gwasgwr newydd yn cymryd lle’r offer llaw oedd yn arfer cael eu defnyddio gan Barcmyn y Parc Cenedlaethol yn y gweithdai gwasgu afalau poblogaidd.

Mae’r gwasgwr newydd yn fwy diogel, effeithlon a hygyrch, ac yn rhoi cyfle i bobl o bob oed a gallu i wasgu afalau wrth ddysgu am berllannau traddodiadol, gwahanol fathau o afalau Cymreig, a chynhyrchu bwyd yn gynaliadwy. Bydd gweithdai yn cael eu cynnal ledled Sir Benfro, gan gynnwys Castell Caeriw a lleoliadau cymunedol eraill. Mae sôn bod rhywbeth arbennig yn digwydd yn Bluestone yn y flwyddyn nesaf, felly dechreuwch gasglu eich afalau!

Mae sesiynau gwasgu afalau yn gyfle i ymgysylltu ag ysgolion, teuluoedd a grwpiau cymunedol, gan hyrwyddo dulliau dysgu ymarferol, rhoi cyfle i wahanol genedlaethau gymryd rhan, a chreu cysylltiad dyfnach â’r amgylchedd naturiol. Drwy wneud y gweithdai hyn yn fwy diogel, yn gyflymach ac yn fwy cynhyrchiol, bydd y prosiect yn gallu rhoi rhagor o gyfleoedd i gymunedau ymgysylltu â thraddodiadau bwyd lleol a bioamrywiaeth.

Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust launches Apple Pressing 2026 thanks to Bluestone Foundation support

The Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust has announced the launch of Apple Pressing 2026, a project made possible with support from the Bluestone Foundation Community Fund. The funding has enabled the Trust to purchase a mains-powered Speidel 2.2kW apple press, replacing the manual equipment previously used by National Park Rangers in their popular community apple-pressing workshops.

The upgraded press improves safety, efficiency and accessibility, allowing people of all ages and abilities to take part in apple pressing while learning about traditional orchards, Welsh heritage apple varieties, and sustainable food production. Workshops will take place across Pembrokeshire, including at Carew Castle and other community venues. There’s even a hint of something special with Bluestone this coming year, so get collecting your apples!

Apple pressing sessions engage schools, families and community groups, promoting hands-on learning, intergenerational participation, and a deeper connection to the natural environment. By making the workshops safer, faster, and more productive, the project will expand opportunities for communities to engage with local food traditions and biodiversity.
