Denbighshire residents are getting a chance to learn old countryside management methods this summer.

The Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscapes are working with the Little Learning Company on a project to educate both young and old about traditional land skills.

The project is supported by the UK Government, with the Little Learning Company delivering a range of related training activities for individuals aged 11 and upward.

The project, which focuses on heritage construction, heritage engineering (within the railway sector), and traditional crafts, seeks to increase awareness of heritage skills, particularly those deemed "endangered."

It also aims to promote the sector as a career choice, train individuals to become community tutors, support heritage venues, as well as boost volunteering opportunities and cooperation with partners.

South Denbighshire countryside rangers have been working with the project to offer free heritage and rural skills training sessions, including scything and dry stone walling.

Councillor Alan James, Denbighshire cabinet lead member for local development and planning, said: "These sessions are a fantastic opportunity to learn yesteryear land management skills and techniques for all ages and a great way to spend time in our countryside this summer."

He added: "We are grateful for the support of the Little Learning Company for helping get these sessions available for people to enjoy learning heritage skills based in the country."

More sessions are lined up for summer.

Scything sessions at Dôl Llangar are scheduled for August 5 and 6.

Drystone walling at Coed Pen y Pigyn is planned for August 20.
