Local Places for Nature Grant
We have been successful in obtaining funding worth £250,000, thanks to a grant from Welsh Government’s Local Places for Nature scheme.
The project intends to create nature on your doorstep by focusing on ‘everyday places’ such as locations where people live or work.
The improvements will include:
- Tree planting
- Hedge planting
- Orchard creation
- Wildflower bulb planting
- ‘No mow’ areas.
It is hoped that the works will enhance vital corridors for a range of species such as pollinators, bats and small mammals, as well as improving the areas for local communities.
