As part of Prosiect Torgoch, funded by the National Heritge Lottery we recently had the pleasure of working with the pupils of Ysgol Dolbadarn to create beautiful lanterns inspired by the torgoch (Arctic charr) of Llyn Padarn.

Using stencils, the children learned how to create impactful designs that highlight the unique features of this endangered fish species.

Through this hands-on activity, they were able to explore their creativity while also deepening their understanding of the torgoch’s importance to the local ecosystem.

Their lanterns will be proudly displayed at the upcoming exhibition at Llyn Padarn, shedding light—both literally and figuratively—on the torgoch's decline and our efforts to protect it.
