The funding will help create a nature trail alongside the river, support spaces for rest and recreation and bring the site into the National Forest for Wales network, ensuring increased environmental protection. The project will provide training and create volunteering opportunities for local people to manage the site sustainably for the long term.

Down to Zero Project Manager Tom Addiscott said ‘The funding is a credit to the efforts of the local community and Cwmbach Community Wetlands Ltd. Since we purchased the site in July 2024, we know that safely restoring the pathway alongside the river has been a key priority for local people. We’re pleased that this project will increase access to green space and allow local people to improve their health and wellbeing by spending more time in nature on their doorstep. The project will be supported by an ecological appraisal and ecological mitigation, and enhancement plans to ensure that we protect and enhance the local wildlife and environment. Environmental protection and enhancement are a key priority for us and the local community.’
