Today we're saying goodbye to this Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca' @CUBotanicGarden We're uncertain of it's planting date but it was presumably amongst our earliest plantings. It's been badly storm-damaged in recent years, so it's now time to say farewell old friend - never easy.

Please retweet this and let's hope as many people watch it as possible. #Snowdonia is our home, please look after it and help us keep it looking as beautiful as it looks right now.

Thinking of coming back to Snowdonia? If so, seek out the quieter places. Come quietly. Bring care and respect for this precious place. There'll be a warm welcome. youtu.be/Fs820-zIqY8 @visitsnowdonia
