Connecting People and Nature

Basing activities at sites in 4 Rural Wards of Merthyr Tydfil County Borough, Actif Woods and The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales (WTSWW) will engage with local communities with the following aims:

• Enhance and protect local biodiversity

• Increase local skills and capacity to care for nature reserves and create sense

of ownership

• Improve community cohesion

• Improve health and wellbeing

These aims will be achieved by carrying out surveys, habitat and access management, and offering activities and training. This project will engage with rural community groups to encourage access to local green spaces, to benefit the health of the landscape, individuals and the community.
