46 community/organizational representatives have expressed interested in participating with the project so far, including schools, Universities, youth groups, ‘Friends’ groups, support groups (e.g. neurodivergent).
At least 120 'groups' supported in creating Wild Spaces.
750 households. At least 4000 people in the locality.
We will seek to connect new, under-served audiences (particularly those living in areas of green space deprivation) to nature - specifically with butterflies and moths - through the creation of Wild Spaces, within a Newport ‘hub’ and a network of ‘satellite’ sites across South Wales. Transformations will be achieved through capital works, community grants and volunteering sessions. Training workshops and events will also be delivered.
