It is also responsible for some functions previously undertaken by Welsh Government. Our purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, used and enhanced, now and in the future. We work for the communities of Wales to protect people and their homes as much as possible from environmental incidents like flooding and pollution. We provide opportunities for people to learn, use and benefit from Wales' natural resources. We work to support Wales' economy by enabling the sustainable use of natural resources to support jobs and enterprise. We help businesses and developers to understand and consider environmental limits when they make important decisions. We work to maintain and improve the quality of the environment for everyone and we work towards making the environment and our natural resources more resilient to climate change and other pressures. Evidence at Natural Resources Wales Natural Resources Wales is an evidence based organisation. We seek to ensure that our strategy, decisions, operations and advice to Welsh Government and others are underpinned by sound and quality-assured evidence. We recognise that it is critically important to have a good understanding of our changing environment.

  • Landscape Character Area 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY Broad Landscape Type: SETTLED VALLEYS
    Landscape Character Area 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY Broad Landscape Type: SETTLED VALLEYS Description Location and Context This linear LCA includes the floor and lower sides of the Usk Valley. It extends from Pencelli to the eastern edge of the National Park near Abergavenny, and includes several settlements including Crickhowell, Talybont and Bwlch. It has nine adjacent LCAs, including the high land of the Central Beacons to the west and the Black Mountains to the east. Summary Description This settled, luxuriant valley contrasts with the surrounding open and craggy hills. Its wide, flat valley floor with its patchwork of fields is an important transport route, containing main roads and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. A fertile, agricultural landscape, the Usk Valley is also strongly influenced by parkland planting and in places is densely wooded. The valley has a long history of settlement, and contains several villages, numerous farms and country houses with their associated grounds. A series of Iron Age hillforts overlook the valley, and the southern part has industrial links with the Clydach Gorge and Blaenavon Industrial Landscape World Heritage Site. The Usk Valley west of Crickhowell Historical Development of the Landscape The development of this landscape reflects its strategic role as a key route and transport corridor over millennia, as well as its long use for traditional agriculture and industry. Iron Age hillforts are prominent on the valley sides, with later defensive features including a series of Medieval mottes and castles such as Tretower. Villages developed at crossing points of the river, with some historic bridges surviving.

  • Waterfall Country Community Engagement Plan 2020
    Waterfall Country Community Engagement Plan 2020 – 21 Introduction Historically there has been a lack of communication from stakeholders to the community regarding the projects and initiatives underway to tackle over-tourism issues. This has led to misunderstanding and resentment from the community who were unaware of the work undertaken, the different responsibilities of the different organisations or how they could contribute. Communication within the area has been better since Facebook groups have been used, but not all residents use this platform and often do not get the information they require. Engagement between partners will encourage cooperative working and community involvement. The key partners in this area are the Community Councils of Ystradfellte and Pontnedfechan Council and Penderyn and Glynneath Councils. The newly set up community group Proactive Pontneddfechan is proving invaluable for engaging with residents and identifying and managing events and celebrations to bring people together. Newsletter A quarterly newsletter, which can have additional shorter publications if needed, has already proved a successful way of disseminating information from stakeholders and within the community about the projects underway and has helped to promote community led initiatives. This is leading to greater understanding about the complexity of delivering these projects, the different responsibilities of the authorities and stakeholders involved information and stories about the natural environment and heritage a platform for community groups and members to advertise events and share activities. Online Survey – Connection to Nature COVID 19 has provided a unique environment where residents are forced to stay within their locality and exercise there. In normal circumstances the area would already see a high number of visitors but during the pandemic the lock down has prevented this.

  • River Usk at Dan-Y-Parc
    River Usk at Dan-y-Parc An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – August 2012 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on a 1.5-mile stretch of the River Usk between Crickhowell and Abergavenny. The river is controlled and managed by the Aberlous Fishing Syndicate, and is known as the Dan-y-Parc fishery. The request for the visit was made by Mr. Robert Melvin, who is Secretary of the syndicate and one of the landowners. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr. Melvin. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Upstream boundary Grid ref SO 222 176 Downstream boundary Grid ref SO 233 159 2 2. Catchment overview The River Usk rises on the northern slopes of the Black Mountain of mid-Wales, in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Initially the river flows north, discharging into Usk Reservoir, then east to Sennybridge and on to Brecon before swinging southeast to flow through Talybont-on-Usk, Crickhowell and Abergavenny. From here the river heads due south to Usk before flowing through the city of Newport and on into the Severn estuary at Uskmouth. In terms of the Water Framework Directive, the Dan-y-Parc reach in within waterbody ID GB109056040082, which is currently in ‘moderate’ status with a target of achieving ‘good’ status by 2015.
