  • Environmental Events, Swansea 2009
    Environmental Events Digwyddiadau Amgylcheddol Swansea 2009 Abertawe Introduction This 2009 Environmental Events leaflet lists details of over 300 events taking place in and around Swansea from March to December. These include guided walks and cycle rides through some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK, and many talks and workshops/training courses where you can learn about environmental issues and wildlife. There are also lots of children’s activities in local parks, on beaches or in other interesting places. Many of these events are FREE or at very low cost so everyone can get involved. Following the success of Earth from the Air in 2007, Swansea Environmental Forum is bringing another open-air exhibition of amazing and inspiring photographs to Swansea. The Hard Rain exhibition has toured much of the UK and many other countries across the world but this year we will see its first visit to Wales when it comes to Swansea in June. Look out for the programme of linked activities and events taking place throughout the summer. The number of events and organisations arranging them continues to increase so it isn’t possible to include everything in this leaflet. Please note that details of regular local produce markets have been collated on p.5. For further information on local organisations please refer to the contact list at the back of the leaflet and for additional events throughout the year visit the City and County of Swansea and Environment Centre websites (see details opposite).

We know the people; we are familiar with the houses, roads, chapels, churches, pubs, the local school and so on. Then perhaps we pause and wonder and ask ourselves the following: o Which is the oldest house in the village? CJ Why are some houses built in long rows? CJ What was on the site ofthat building a hundred years ago? o Why has that road been given that particular name? o Why is there a coal tip there? CJ Where does that stream begin and end? ......and a hundred and one other questions. If we care to find out we would be amazed at the interesting things to be discovered about our locality. We must remember - 'History is all around us' It is indeed a long story from the waste land, the first isolated farm house in a countryside with a few narrow nettled lanes, dotted with small woods, common land and marsh - to the busy, bustling place which we now know as Waunarlwydd. Nowadays, Waunarlwydd is too large and scattered to be called a village. The closing down ofold industries: the establishment of new industries; the building of new housing estates and the influx of new people have drastically changed the character of the village but each change has contributed to its history.
