Bridgend County Borough Council has secured a grant £250,000 from the Local Places for Nature project, which is jointly funded by Welsh Government and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, for 10 places across the borough including Kenfig Hill.
The project aims to create ‘nature on your doorstep’ by focusing on everyday places such as locations where people live, work or visit.
The improvements across the borough will include tree planting, hedge planting, orchard creation, wildflower bulb planting and ‘no mow’ areas.
It is also hoped that the works will have a positive influence for a range of species such as pollinators, bats and small mammals, as well as improving the areas for local communities.
The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales are the council’s delivery partner for the initiative and they are currently holding a series of consultation on the plans. Tomorrow the trust will be in Kenfig Hill:-
