🐞 Final reminder – join us tomorrow! ☀️

Fancy joining us in the sunshine tomorrow for a day of wildlife recording at Parc Melin Mynach, Gorseinon?

We’ll be running two guided walks, aiming to record as many species as possible — from insects and other invertebrates to plants, birds, reptiles and more.

No experience needed — all ages and abilities are welcome. It’s a great opportunity to learn what lives around us and pick up tips on how to identify different species.

Come along, get involved, and help us build a better picture of local wildlife 💚

Good morning!

We are currently trying to raise funds to replace the container we had in the park,
after it was destroyed along with all the contents.

Any funds we raise will go towards the replacement of the container making it more secure and building up our equipment again.

Any donations no matter how big are small will help us rebuild for the community! If you are unable to donate at the time we would appreciate if you can share this to your friend and family.

Going forward we will also have donation buckets at events also for those who would like to donate in person all donations will be added to the Go Fund Me total.

🌷SPRING IS COMING🌷

It's that time of year where the flowers in the park are starting to bloom and nature is all around us in the park.

However the flowers and other nature cannot blossom brightly if there is litter in the park, so why not come and help us clean up the park!

We will be holding our easter litter pick this Sunday!! The 29th March 2026 between 12pm & 2pm and we would love for you to be there! Meeting at the Pump track/Skate park Entrance.

Every child/young person that helps will receive a free easter egg as a thank you 😊

We hope to see you there!!
