About
We are a community group on the edge of the Brecon Beacons surrounded by hills, forest and farmland. We exist to enable local residents to connect with each other and our natural surroundings and to encourage healthier more enjoyable, sustainable lifestyles.
The work we do includes:
Community energy generation (micro hydro, wind, solar thermal, photovoltaic).
Harvesting woodland (community wood supply, charcoal making)
Domestic energy efficiency (loft insulation, electricity monitoring)
Transport (car sharing, shopping collection, electric bikes).
Local food initiatives (allotments, garden sharing, local produce).
Cleaning up our environment (recycling, litter picking, composting).
We're on facebook too.
