WELCOME TO THE MUMBLES GREEN ACTION TEAM (MGAT)

 

Would you like to help with environmental projects in and around Mumbles? We have a few events lined up, which we would love for you to take part in.

The Mumbles Green Action Team (MGAT) is working with Mumbles Development Trust and Broadleaf Woodland Enterprise (BWE), a community interest company based at our Norton Leisure Garden site,
to take on the management of the local woodlands, as well as securing contracts in other areas in and around Swansea. It will also host a variety of community workshops in environmental subjects, crafts and
healthy living.

Mumbles Green Action Team - Newsletter – November 2007
 
The beautiful colours of Autumn are even more alive this year, seems all that rain was a
blessing after all!

This was the scene in Clyne Valley Country Park recently when some of
us here at Mumbles Development Trust did the Mumbles Way Walk.
It really is a beautiful walk, any weather, any season (photo by John Powell).

The walk planned for the volunteers on Saturday October 27th was well supported. We
hope that by next spring, the Mumbles Way Walk will be a fully guided walk, offered at a
small charge, supported by leaflets and signage.

The last two months have seen a big increase in the number of Green Action Team
members. Although our activities have been fairly well supported, we are always looking
for more participants:

The other events in October, the Market and the site clearance on the Second World War
gun emplacements Mumbles Hill were very well supported, thanks.
We are planning some events for the New Year, including family woodland workshops, bird
box making, guided walks, looking after back lanes, and the good old litter picks! Keep up
to date as always here on our website.

If you are looking to do some volunteering with us, we have some more events for you to

would like to be taken off the mailing list just let us know. Hope to see you soon,
