Llanedi Community Council are celebrating a £5,900 grant raised thanks to National lottery players. The Together for our planet funding programme supports projects like this to take climate action within their local community.
Llanedi Community Council based in Hendy, will build on their existing work of the nature trail. The creation of scrapes and a pond will improve the biodiversity of the area that was once a crocket ground and has now been set aside for nature. These new habitats would improve opportunities for wildlife and would create additional reasons for the community to visit as well as being the focus for activities such as wildlife recording and educational activities like pond dipping.
Ruth Taylor-Davies, a volunteer of Llanedi Community Council said: “The project is being made possible thanks to the generosity of National Lottery players. The funding will be used to develop new habitats within this fantastic green space, which is at the heart of our community. Owned by the community council and supported by a group of committed volunteers.
The trail has already made strides in improving habitats for wildlife and engaging our community with the nature on its doorstep.”
Thanks to £305,908 raised by National Lottery players, 34 community groups across Wales will take collective action by focussing on the small changes they can make locally. A full list of the awards is attached Announcing the funding John Rose, Wales Director of The National Lottery Community Fund, said: “Thanks to National Lottery players, this funding will enable community groups across Wales to take meaningful and ongoing action on climate change. By thinking locally and focusing on what this means for them, they will collectively build on small actions that will contribute to the wider climate action movement.
“I look forward to seeing these projects come to life over the coming months. Not only will they make significant environmental improvements, but they will also help communities to thrive.”
The Together for Our Planet fund aims to support a legacy of ongoing climate action projects in communities across the UK. The Fund, which offered grants of up to £10,000, has now closed.
