Darganfyddwch fywyd gwyllt annisgwyl Parc Melin Mynach ar daith gerdded dywys gyda'r entomolegwyr Liam Olds a Christian Owen o Glo i Natur CIC. Dewch i archwilio sut mae natur wedi adfeddiannu safle'r hen bwll glo hwn, gan greu lloches unigryw ar gyfer rhywogaethau arbenigol a'n helpu i gofnodi cynifer o blanhigion, creaduriaid di-asgwrn-cefn a mathau eraill o fywyd gwyllt â phosib fel rhan o Her Byd Natur y Ddinas.
Os ydych yn ddechreuwr neu'n recordydd profiadol, dewch draw i'n helpu i adnabod a dogfennu bioamrywiaeth Parc Melin Mynach a chyfrannu at y prosiect gwyddoniaeth byd-eang hwn i ddinasyddion. Mae'n ffordd hawdd ac ymarferol o ddysgu am rywogaethau a chynefinoedd arbennig y safle a gwneud gwahaniaeth go iawn i fyd natur.
Rhaid cadw lle.
