Overview

Cwlwm Seiriol is one of six projects that have received funding from the National Lottery’s new ‘Creating Your Space’ programme. The aim of this programme is to give communities the opportunity to decide how to protect and improve their local natural environment in a way that makes a difference to them and meets the needs of future generations.

By 2023 the project hopes to achieve the following:

Communities within the Seiriol Ward feel more confident and committed to managing their local green spaces.
There is greater cohesion within local communities with local residents, community groups, landowners and businesses having been actively involved in the project.
The Seiriol ward has fully restored and managed open spaces linked by a network of habitat corridors and footpaths.
Communities draw greater benefit from their open spaces in relation to physical and mental well-being.

The Seiriol ward consists of the following physical assets:

50 acres of reserves, 40 of which are designated Local Nature Reserves
60 acres of undermanaged common lands
23km of Coastal Path through AONB designated coast
North Wales Wildlife Trust (NWWT) Mariandyrys reserve of 6.75 Ha
Bwrdd Arthur pavement
Coed y Brenin Llangoed
Aberlleiniog motte and bailey environs
5km of byeways suitable for the creation of biodiversity corridors
