Welcome to Sustainable Swansea!
Here you will find all the information you need about us and what we do.

Sustainable Swansea has been in existence for 10 years since it was established in 2004. It has been at the forefront of sustainability activities and events and raises awareness and understanding of environmental sustainability in Swansea. It aims to make Swansea a more sustainable place to live, work, and visit.
Some of the specific projects and activities we work on include:

• Get Sust! works with individuals, communities and groups on how to be more sustainable. We attend and organise events and activities, sometimes around specific themes and other times, more generally about sustainability.  

• On the Trail; a collection of nearly 30 exemplar projects and locations which forms the Swansea Sustainability Trail. Projects include, Swansea Community Farm, The Environment Centre, Down to Earth Project, Rosehill Quarry, Bishops Wood Nature Reserve, Llys Nini and Penllergare Woods - all of which show sustainability in action.
  

• Digital Media Training: a great informal way of gaining skills with digital photography and editing. 

• Green Map Series: Leading the way in Wales with a growing collection of Green Maps including a Swansea-wide map and community green maps for Penlan, Castle, Townhill, Morriston, Pontarddulais, Gower and St Thomas and Port Tennant.
  

• Sustainable Swansea Awards Scheme: A scheme which rewards sustainable action by schools, businesses, community projects, public agencies, and individuals.

Sustainable Swansea is managed by Swansea Environmental Forum in partnership with the City and County of Swansea, Swansea CVS and the Environment Centre.

Digital Streams - Photography Exhibition

This project was all about exploring the River Tawe and we took the group out on four trips to photograph various locations on the river with a final day learning to use Photoshop to edit them. The project offered a fun and friendly way to learn about digital photography, to get outdoors and to find out about how the river affects us and how we affect it.

The Swansea Sustainability Trail

The Sustainability Trail brings together a collection of local projects and organisations to give practical examples of how we can look after our world and the resources it provides. Each project is happy to welcome visitors (some by prior arrangement only) and provide tours of their site to show how they are contributing to a more sustainable world.
Please get in touch if your group would like to visit a site as we can facilitate this for you.
