Drwy gofrestru ar gyfer sesiwn wirfoddoli bydd gennych gyfle i fynd y tu allan i’r bryniau, dysgu sgiliau newydd a chwrdd â phobl o'r un anian tra'n gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i'n mannau gwyllt.

Plannu Sphagnum

Cynhelir ein diwrnodau gwirfoddoli BMC mewn partneriaeth â Moors for the Future. Mae sphagnum yn dal carbon deuocsid ac oherwydd ei nodweddion dal dŵr mae hefyd yn helpu i leihau llifogydd ac yn gwella ansawdd dŵr. Mae diogelu ac adfer rhostir a chorsydd yn rhan bwysig o'r frwydr yn erbyn yr argyfwng hinsawdd.

Plannu Morwellt

Rydym yn gweithio gyda Seagrass Ocean Rescue i godi arian ar gyfer eu prosiectau sy'n cloi carbon yn y cefnforoedd. Rydym yn rhoi cyfle i aelodau helpu i blannu morwellt ar hyd arfordir Gogledd Cymru.
