This landscape scale collaborative project aims to join up and integrate the management of an area of the Tywi Valley between Carmarthen and Llandeilo to benefit wildlife, heritage and communities through a strengthened network of land owners, land managers, and experts.
The project will enable landowners and managers to access specialist information and advice to help to deliver improved ecosystem services alongside enhanced historic landscape management. Action will be taken to improve the historic parkland at the National Botanic Garden of Wales and make it a publicly accessible exemplar of the sustainable management of natural resources. The Gardens and the surround area are a great destination for a wide variety of outdoor recreational activities including walking, running, cycling , tree climbing and den building, archaeology, horticulture volunteering, ecological surveying and farm visiting.
The health improvement opportunities offered by the project also include working with Down To Earth, an award winning social enterprise, supporting people to bring about positive change in their lives through meaningful outdoor activity, specifically aimed at vulnerable audiences with mental health conditions and brain trauma injuries.
