Volunteer Stories – Huw Peregrine

Gardening volunteer, nature recording and birdwatching.

“I started volunteering at Bishop’s Park in April 2022

“I live in the village next to the Park which I have visited and walked around on many occasions over the decades.

“I enjoy meeting my fellow colleagues/volunteers and working in the garden with them. The work is physical and helps keep me fit. Also, it’s a good excuse to leave the house!

“I retired from full time work at Glangwili Hospital over five and a half years ago. After that, I started volunteering in the garden of Newton House, owned by the Dinefwr National Trust near Llandeilo, in the orchard of Abergwili village and archaeology excavations with Heneb (Dyfed).

“In addition to the above, I enjoy hill and mountain-walking and I’m a keen birdwatcher.”
