Conservation & Crafts Workshop

This page has been setup to highlight the conservation and maintenance work being done around the Llys Nini farm by volunteers and DWP clients.

CCW is situated in the grounds of Llys Nini Animal rehoming centre. The 78 acre site is a mix of diverse agricultural meadow and woodland with pathways that provide staff, volunteers and the public an opportunity to exercise and appreciate the rural environment.

CCW has been formed from the legacy of an ERDF Communities and Nature program that was a partnership between Llys Nini and BTCV that run for just under 3yrs to install a Heritage trail around the grounds providing access and information on the history of the site and surrounding areas. It has provided us with a platform to continue the good work and further improve the site.

Our principle responsibilities are maintaining path's, and managing the land to provide sustainable products with wildlife habitat and it's improvement being our priority.
By managing the land we are able to create a variety of products that are sold through the charities shops and events to continue the good work at Llys Nini.
This is achieved by the hard work of volunteers, and working with both corporate and DWP clients who provide a valuable source of labour.
In return we provide training, welfare facilities, supervision and the opportunity to be a part of a team were everybody can bring something, and take something positive from.
