I think it is an admirable project, as deforestation is causing major problems throughout the world, and is a clear contributor to the problem of climate change,\u201d says Mr Williams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy expertise in staging events will help the Size of Wales celebration go off with a bang, providing supporters with a feel-good factor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clare Raisin, partnership manager with Size of Wales, says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted that Paul is providing us with support.
