This 2 metre wide strip will be cut around twice a year, with the arisings removed to allow it to flourish. The rest of the field will be cut as normal and access will remain at entrance gates for vehicles and pedestrians.

This vital nature corridor will improve biodiversity including bees, butterflies and other wildlife 🦋🐝.

We need your help! We’re looking for volunteers to become Swift Guardians, helping us monitor and record Swift sightings across Barry. We're are also offering free swift boxes, inviting these incredible birds to nest in homes and buildings across the Vale!.

To help provide much needed nesting spaces, a ‘Swift Tower’ is being installed at the Cold Knap Park in Barry. This project is a collaboration between @VOGCouncil, @DwrCymru, Swift Conservation and @glamorganbirds, and is funded by Welsh Government Local Places for Nature Scheme.

For thousands of years, Swifts have been our summer companions, filling the skies with their distinctive calls and breathtaking aerial displays. But now, these incredible birds are in decline and we need to act fast to protect them.
