Families from Llanelli have been getting up close with nature.

More than 50 people have enjoyed taking part in a series of nature walks organised by Carmarthenshireā€™s Communities First team.

Families took to the trails and learned about the local wildlife including ducks, dragonflies and butterflies that thrive at the areaā€™s ponds and reservoirs.

The nature walks enhanced childrenā€™s appreciation of the natural environment, through focusing on the things that the children could see, hear and smell.

Communities First Health Promotion Worker Llyr Lloyd, said: ā€The children enjoyed the fresh air and were pointing out and trying to identify different species. ā€œ

Communities First is a community focused programme that supports the Welsh Government’s Anti-Poverty agenda. The programme supports three policy areas, considered core to combating poverty and social exclusion. These are health, education and economic prosperity.
