With some of the best mountains, hills, rivers and beaches in the UK, and three National Parks, outdoor pursuits in Wales attracts participants from all walks of life and socio-economic backgrounds. Outdoor pursuits also help to provide a welcome boost to hard pressed local economies in our rural communities. These activities regularly attract participants from outside Wales, with many choosing to take “active” family holidays. We support wholeheartedly the maintaining and improving of our waterways. At the same time we need to ensure that when considering any measures the need to maintain accessibility for recreational and sporting users is taken into account. It is vital that as many people as possible are able to access our waterways and are able to enjoy a wide variety of outdoor pursuits through the sustainable use of our natural environment. The associated health benefits and well-being generated from a more active population, as well as the boost to local economies, increased tourism and job opportunities in the countryside are compelling drivers. Hence we believe it is important that striking a balance between environmentally protective measures and providing effective public access needs to be imbedded as a central theme in the consideration of all plans. The Welsh Sports Association There are approximately 33,000 voluntary and community organisations in Wales, of which 32,798 are recorded on the All Wales Database, maintained by WCVA. 23% of these are sports and recreation bodies making this by far the biggest part of the Third Sector. The Welsh Sports Association (WSA) is the recognised independent voice for sport, physical recreation and outdoor pursuits in Wales Since its foundation in 1972 the WSA has been the ‘umbrella’ organisation for National Governing Bodies (NGBs) of sport in Wales, providing them with representation and support. Currently around 70 NGBs are members of the WSA with an estimated 500,000 plus individual members under their banner. As well as being the voice for the sector the WSA provides a wide range of services to its members including guidance, training, information, governance support, financial management, development support and other services.

Clean bathing waters are a k ey attraction for residents of and v isitors to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The quality and quantity of water in catchments is a major factor affecting the state of biodiversity, including the condition of features of European importance (including the Cleddau Rivers Special Area of Conservation and Afon Teifi Special Area of Conservation).

  • The Dandie Dinmont Terrier
    www.davesbits.couk INTRODUCTION Poet Lauriat I’ll never become But composing this book has been such fun So don’t criticise my effort at rhyme Which over the years has taken much time. It’s a memory of me for you to browse To pass away your leisure hours! SPRING WALK I leave the house to start on my round And take the path along the Oat Ground, Passed the field where the children are playing Being pushed on the swings gently swaying. I take the lane down to Holy Well See the hawthorn buds beginning to swell. Primroses bloom on the banks down this lane, ‘Neath the hedges cut by machine again. Little birds searching for somewhere to nest Keep checking to see which side is best. Left passed the ponies asleep in the sun And the chickens are scratching in their run. The blackthorn’s in flower, winter’s not over yet I hope its rain and not snow that we get. I follow this lane which runs by the stream Note the leaves on the willow turning green. Under the tunnel of overgrown trees Where the catkins are swaying in the breeze. An old yew tree leans where vegetables grow And roses are pruned for their summer show. Under two huge poplars which come into view Spring flowers form a carpet of yellow and blue. The path crosses the stream and goes on beyond Where the breeze causes ripples upon a pond. The cattle in the field are chewing the cud The coot’s on her nest and ducks in the mud.

  • Groundwater Level and Quality Monitoring in Wales: An
    Natural Resources Wales’ monitoring networks for groundwater level and quality Authors: David A Jones1 Gareth J Farr2 1Natural Resources Wales (formerly Environment Agency Wales) Ty Cambria, 29 Newport Road, Cardiff, CF24 0TP 2Present address: British Geological Survey, Columbus House, Greenmeadow Springs, Tongwynlais, Cardiff, CF15 7NE Introduction Natural Resources Wales, which was formed in April 2013, has taken over the functions of the Countryside Council for Wales, Environment Agency Wales and Forestry Commission Wales, as well as some functions of Welsh Government. Its purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, enhanced and used, now and in the future. This includes ensuring that the quality of groundwater, surface water and coastal waters continues to improve. In Wales, groundwater only contributes around 3% of the total public water supply (Environment Agency, 2008a). However, it is still an important resource in rural areas where records held by local authorities identify at least 21,000 private water supplies, typically comprising shallow wells, boreholes and spring sources. Groundwater also provides baseflow to rivers and groundwater dependent wetlands. Therefore it is important that sufficient data is available to understand, manage, protect, forecast and report on the quality and availability of groundwater. 1 Since 2000 the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) (WFD) has been the key driver for monitoring groundwater levels and quality. The data that is collected is used to define the status of groundwater in both quantitative and chemical terms as either ‘good’ or ‘poor’. Data is also needed to inform decisions on groundwater protection, abstraction licensing, groundwater modelling and other local investigations.

  • National Strategy for Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management in Wales
    National Strategy for Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management in Wales November 2011 ISBN 978 0 7504 6785 8 © Crown copyright 2011 WG13534 Ministerial Foreword During 2011 we have been reminded of the devastating impacts and consequences of flooding from across the world. We know we have to adapt to a changing climate as the evidence suggests that we will see higher sea levels, increases in the intensity of rainfall and inevitably more frequent flooding. The consequences of that flooding will see greater risks to life, the economy and the environment. In addition to this rates of coastal erosion will increase, with more coastal communities facing the risks of loss of land and resources. While we cannot prevent all flooding or coastal erosion there are actions we can take to manage the risks and reduce the consequences. We need to adopt a more holistic approach of defence combined with a range of other measures to help communities and the wider environment. We have already gone some way in achieving this. The Flood and Water Act introduced in 2010 provides the Welsh Government and Risk Management Authorities with greater powers, providing clarified responsibilities and the framework for partners to work together. We have seen improvements in our understanding of flood risk through modelling and mapping. The arrangements for flood forecasting and warning been improved and the capability for flood rescue enhanced. We have tested our new and improved response arrangements during Exercise Watermark, one of the UK’s largest ever civil emergency exercise. We have also invested heavily in engaging with our communities to raise their awareness of risks and the actions they can take in the event of flooding.
