About Us

This new project aims to increase community involvement in the management of green and blue spaces (eg parks, community gardens, woods, footpaths, lakes, rivers) across 7 Community First areas in Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend, Swansea and Newport.

KWT project officers will work closely with Communities First staff and local residents from Neath Town Centre, Neath East, Brackla, Bettws, Penlan, Blaenymaes and Pilgwenlly to identify, and undertake, a range of environmental improvement projects over the next year.

Practical projects will include litter-picks, biodiversity improvements, access work aswell as a series of campaigns to raise awareness of local environmental issues such as dog fouling and flytipping.

Accredited Pesticide Spraying Course

An accredited Pesticide spraying course is being offered to volunteers working within the Outcomes areas. The two day course (plus an extra day for assessment) will take place in Aberavon, Port Talbot and all personal safety equipment will be provided, however attendees will need to supply wellies, a calculator, 1 passport sized photo and packed lunch. In the case of inclement weather wet gear may also be needed as you will be working along the River Afan bank.

Spaces are limited and only 4 remain so if anyone would like to enroll for this course please contact me urgently on kathryn.britton@keepwalestidy.org

Accreditation is from the City & Guilds NPTC and will include water course spraying allowing recipients the ability to spray close to or on watercourses.
