Brownfield biodiversity: exploring the Lower Swansea Valley
About
Join Glo i Natur CIC for a guided walk through the Lower Swansea Valley, exploring the fascinating invertebrates that thrive within this remarkable post-industrial landscape and its mosaic of unique wildlife-rich habitats.Learn about the specialist brownfield invertebrates that make their home here, from bees and beetles to grasshoppers and bugs, and discover why these man-made landscapes are so valuable for biodiversity. Part of the site is already recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its rare metal-loving lichens and plants, highlighting its national ecological importance.
This is a fantastic opportunity for nature enthusiasts of all ages to learn more about urban ecology, brownfield habitats, and the surprising wildlife that flourishes in these reclaimed landscapes.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Booking required.
This event is supported by Local Places for Nature 2025-27 grant funding provided by Welsh Government, administered by WCVA and managed by Swansea Council in Swansea.

Ymunwch â Chwmni Buddiant Cymunedol Glo i Natur am daith dywys drwy Gwm Tawe Isaf, i archwilio'r creaduriaid di-asgwrn-cefn diddorol sy'n ffynnu yn y dirwedd ôl-ddiwydiannol ryfeddol hon a'i mosaig o gynefinoedd unigryw sy'n llawn bywyd gwyllt.
Dysgwch am y creaduriaid di-asgwrn-cefn tir llwyd arbenigol sy'n byw yma, o wenyn a chwilod i geiliogod rhedyn a phryfed, a dewch i ddarganfod pam y mae'r tirweddau hyn o waith dyn mor werthfawr i fioamrywiaeth. Mae rhan o'r safle eisoes wedi'i chydnabod fel Safle o Ddiddordeb Gwyddonol Arbennig am ei chennau a'i phlanhigion prin sy'n dwlu ar fetel, gan dynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd ecolegol cenedlaethol y safle.
Dyma gyfle gwych i'r rheini sy'n frwdfrydig dros natur ddysgu mwy am ecoleg drefol, cynefinoedd tir llwyd, a'r bywyd gwyllt annisgwyl sy'n ffynnu yn y tirweddau wedi'u hadfer hyn. Mae'r digwyddiad yn addas i bobl o bob oedran.
Mae'n rhaid i blant fod yng nghwmni oedolyn.
Rhaid cadw lle.
Cefnogir y digwyddiad hwn gan gyllid grant Lleoedd Lleol ar gyfer Natur 2025-27, a ddarperir gan Lywodraeth Cymru, a weinyddir gan Gyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru ac a reolir gan Gyngor Abertawe yn Abertawe.
Man cyfarfod: Mynedfa'r llwybr troed ar Jersey Road (yr A4217) gyferbyn â Cwm Chapel Road, Bôn-y-maen, Abertawe SA1 7DL
