Eight projects were selected at the committee s most recent meeting. These include: Clynfyw Care Farm which made a successful with an application for a vermicomposting project, which will create a quality rich sustainable compost that can be used to improve soil conditions organically. This will support local vegetable producers and sequester carbon in the process. As reported in last week s Western Telegraph, the Newport Area Environment Group will receive funding to lead a community planting project promoting decarbonisation through biodiversity. The funding will enable the recruitment of a biodiversity officer to lead this 18 month project. Cwm Arian Renewable Energy has secured financial support to research a Pembrokeshire-wide energy efficiency programme, with the aim of reducing energy use and tackling fuel poverty by increasing and normalising the uptake of low carbon life choices.
AN ENVIRONMENTAL endeavour to monitor the health of the River Nevern from its source near the Frenni Fawr, to the sea at Newport has been launched by the Growing Better Connections project. The CLEAN (Catchment Level Environmental Action Network) project aims to respond to the challenge of restoring and enhancing healthy habitats in and along Pembrokeshire s rivers. A network of nature conservation and community organisations has been formed to deliver this work - including Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, West Wales Rivers Trust, Pembrokeshire Nature Partnership, Newport Area Environment Group, Community Councils and Nevern Anglers. Between February and March over 20 volunteers, from those organisations and from among the riverside communities in the area, will be taking water samples and collecting observational survey data to establish baseline information about the river s current state of ecological health.
