My Local Patch 2021

In 2021 we were awarded funding from Heritage Lottery Fund 15 Minute Heritage grant programme to develop free resources that you can download and use to discover and explore your local patch, focusing on the nature that is on your doorstep.

Pont-y-ddol project 2021

During April 2021 we worked with Peak Cymru and the Canal and Rivers Trust to create bands of wildflower planting along a stretch of the Monmouthsire and Brecon Canal near Pontypool. Artist Rebecca Chesney designed the scheme as a work of art in the landscape that highlights the beauty of our native wildflowers. We’re hoping to continue working on this project to involve people to monitor the progress of the plants and the wildlife that is attracted to them. Let us know if you’d like to be involved.

Leading on from the project along the Mon and Brec canal in 2021, we have been invited to assist artist Rebecca Chesney in the creation of another wildflower area on her local patch in Lancashire. We’ll keep you posted on progress. In the meantime, take a look at Rebeccas project: Rebecca Chesney Linear Park Residency | Super Slow Way
