Restoring, Improving & Protecting Our Environment For
Future Generations.
It's not always obvious to see the natural beauty of where
you live. But when you get up into the mountains above Cwmclydach it becomes
clear how special our area is.
It's difficult to imagine a world where our children would
not be able to enjoy the wonderful views and magical wildlife of the South
Wales valleys. However, with global temperatures rising our climate will
become less predictable putting both our ecology and geology at risk.
It's up to today's generations to protect and restore the
environment, restoring the balance between man and nature.
The Cwmclydach Partnership is committed to supporting
environmentally responsible projects. If you have any ideas for a project,
then please contact our communities first team. They will endeavor to
provide the information and support you need to get your project off the
ground.
Just look at some the projects we're already leading, and
there's a lot more to come in 2009.
