BIODIVERSITY IN SWANSEA Swansea has a natural environment of outstanding quality and beauty with a great diversity of landscapes and habitats including upland moorland, coastal cliffs, sandy beaches, heathland, woodland, wetlands, river valleys, grasslands, sand dunes and estuaries.

These habitats, together with the many parks and gardens, pockets of urban green space and large areas of farmland, support a huge diversity of plant and animal species and make Swansea one of the most attractive and ecologically diverse counties in the UK. To find out more about biodiversity in Swansea and what you can do to help maintain and enhance it, visit www.biodiversitywales.org.uk.

SWANSEA WILDLIFE VOLUNTEERS Swansea's wildlife needs your help – could you be a force for nature and help Swansea Council look after wildlife on its local nature reserves and other green spaces?

Whether it's practical conservation work, planting trees, helping with wildlife surveys or maintaining countryside footpaths, there is something of interest for everyone. For more information, or to sign up to receive news, please contact Sean Hathaway on 01792 636000 or e-mail sean.hathaway@swansea.gov.uk.

GOWER HEDGEROW HUB Hedgerows have shaped the British countryside and are of huge historical, cultural and ecological significance.

The RSPB states that “Hedges may support up to 80 per cent of our woodland birds, 50 per cent of our mammals and 30 per cent of our butterflies.” Gower Hedgerow Hub helps raise awareness of, celebrate, protect and manage these linear woodlands across Gower, offering volunteering opportunities, crafts, events and support to landowners.

We're looking for Hedgerow Heroes – individuals and groups to join us in improving this incredibly important habitat, whilst also improving your own wellbeing through enjoyable activities in the outdoors. For more information visit our Facebook page 'Gower Hedgerow Hub' or call the Hedge Honcho on 01792 636992. Could you be a #hedgerowhero?
