<\/p>\n

Menter M\u00f4n, in partnership with several key organisations, is proud to announce new investment in the Anglesey Glasffordd project, an innovative initiative that combines the promotion and protection of biodiversity, nature restoration and connecting communities across the island.<\/div>\n
The project is now underway having received \u00a3224,000 through the Welsh Government’s Local Places for Nature fund.<\/div>\n
The Glasffordd M\u00f4n project is part of a wider vision as the long-term aim is to develop a green corridor across the island, improving access to nature and improving the links between\u00a0communities as well as promoting wellbeing while caring for and promoting biodiversity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wyn Morgan, Chair of the Glasffordd project said:<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“We are delighted to see the Glasffordd project moving forward with this important support.\u00a0 This is an ambitious project that goes beyond biodiversity. It’s about creating a green corridor\u00a0that will connect people, communities and nature across the island.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“By working in a strong partnership, we will enhance habitats, increase access to nature and create opportunities for local people to actively participate in nature restoration. This is a real investment in the sustainable future of Anglesey and the wellbeing of our communities.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Through this investment, the project will deliver a wide range of nature-based and community-based interventions, including planting trees, hedges and wildflowers to improve habitats. The project will work on creating wildflower meadows and pollinator sites, installing nest boxes for birds, bats and squirrels. They will also be creating community orchards and leisure spaces, improving access to footpaths and public spaces and the communities will be able to participate through volunteering and community
\neducation activities. They will also work on controlling invasive species.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This work will help restore and enhance natural habitats, creating more resilient and sustainable ecosystems along the corridor.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Benefit for local communities<\/b><\/div>\n
The project has a particular focus on communities such as Llangefni and the surrounding areas, where access to quality green spaces is limited. The aims of the project involve improving health and wellbeing by encouraging active travel, offering opportunities for people to participate in nature activities, creating safe, accessible and attractive spaces for the public, and fostering a sense of local pride and community ownership.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
