We are inviting individuals and organisations in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire to take part in a new pilot project – to test a creative community consultation toolkit and then receive tailored mentoring to set up the project. We want to see what support can help you start something rural or improve what you currently do to reach rural areas.

Expression of interest deadline is: 5pm Sunday 25th January

Local Places for Nature

February 24, 2020 Lyndsey Maiden

We’re excited to launch our Local Places for Nature scheme – a brand-new initiative, funded by Welsh Government, that aims to create, restore and enhance hundreds of habitats across the country.

Applications are now open to community groups and organisations looking to help reverse nature’s decline.

To make it as easy as possible for people to get involved, we’ve designed a choice of ‘packages’ tailored to different groups and organisations. Each pre-paid package includes native plants, tools and other materials. We’ll handle the orders and deliveries, and our project officers will even provide support on the ground to help you create your new nature space.

Our packages fall into three categories:

Starter packages for town and community councils (1 each) – Choose from; a) Butterfly Garden, b) Fruit Garden or c) Wildlife Garden. Read the guidance and FAQs
Starter packages for community-based organisations (3 per county); Choose from; a) Butterfly Garden, b) Fruit Garden or c) Wildlife Garden. Read the guidance and FAQs
