VALUING THE ENVIRONMENT

THE COMMUNITY APPROACH

Make your ideas count -
Take a fresh look at your neighbourhood and get involved in projects that will make a lasting impact.

PLANED's 'Valuing the Environment' initiative provides everyone with the opportunity to become more involved with protecting and enhancing Pembrokeshire's environment for future generations.

Together with our specialist partners we will help you and your community to gain the knowledge and skills to turn a good idea into reality. Regular information and training sessions will include fieldwork and visits. These will help to highlight what is special in your neighbourhood and to identify opportunities for enhancing or restoring the features and places your community values.

The aim is to help improve the environment and encourage a sustainable approach. Projects could include local wildlife areas or recycling initiatives. Perhaps you want to celebrate what makes your part of Pembrokeshire unique by embarking on an environmental sculpture or parish map? Or you may wish to research Pembrokeshire rich heritage.

Our environment is special

Pembrokeshire is special because of its wild coastline, historic landscape, wooded river valleys, rich farmland, ancient hedges and hills of legend and mystery. All of these places are home to a wealth of rare and endangered species including dragonflies, orchids, bats, seabirds and seals. You and your community can get involved in identifying and conserving the habitats and species highlighted in the Pembrokeshire Local Biodiversity Action Plan.

Wildlife also depends on green spaces in our neighbourhood, including gardens, commons, meadows and churchyards. Schools,WI and YFC groups often contribute to keeping these areas in good condition. You may have some ideas about potential project in your own locality.
