The latest Diigital Streams exhibition is now up in the lovely Whitewalls Gallery in the Waterfront Museum until the 17th of February. Again, the project has taken a group of local Swansea residents out and about, exploring and photographing some of Swansea's awesome waterways and their surrounding environments.
Over 5 weeks, the group visited some well known, and less well known places, looking at the different habitats and the flora and fauna that thrive there.

Week 1 saw us walking down the old Swansea Canal from Treboeth to Clydach (see left), whilst week 2 was spent exploring the beautiful RSPB wildlife reserve at Cwm Clydach.
Week 3 took us out to the man made lakes at Llansamlet - Pluck and Fendrod, week 4 saw us exploring the nature reserve at Dunvant Brickworks, and the final week was spent walking down the Clyne Valley to Clyne Gardens.

This first edition of the online Swansea Growing Spaces green map aims to give people an idea of the wide range of different growing opportunities there are in the area. It includes places you can go for help and inspiration for starting on your own, and projects where you may like to get involved, growing in a community setting with others.
Growing your own plants or fruit and veg means that you get to control the quality of what you eat and, of course, the cost. It has other benefits too - working in a garden involves getting outside and exercising in the fresh air and will be of benefit to the environment, especially if the land was derelict or previously unused. 

Congratulations to Poppy Johns for winning our photo competition. Her photo of a bee amongst the flowers was taken at Swansea Botanical Gardens.

The latest Green Map in the series is now available - a map showing some of the many amazing green spaces in and around the Swansea area.

From nature reserves to small community parks, there should be something for everyone to explore and enjoy. Some of the places will be well known but we hope too, that you will find many sites that you haven't heard of before.

Don't forget about the online version too - here.
Here you can find more sites that we couldn't fit on the printed map, but also the opportunity to comment on your visits to any of the sites from the map . We really would like to find out what you think about Swansea's green spaces, so be sure to leave a message for us.
You can also download a pdf version of the printed map too - click the image on the left.

Copies are available from the Environment Centre, Pier Street, Swansea and will soon be available in museums, cafes, housing offices, community centres and lots of other venues around Swansea.
