David Ashford, programme manager for the Brecon Beacons Mega Catchment, speaks with his colleague Charlotte Lloyd-Griffiths and Prof Gillian Bristow from Cardiff University about the Taf Fechan Landscape & Community Project. Based around the Pontsticill Reservoir, the project is community-based and recognises that the things  a water company does to protect water quality can also deliver benefits for the whole community. This includes people’s health and wellbeing and improving the environment.

The Taf Fechan Landscape and Community Project is part of the Wales Rural Development Plan 2014 – 2020 which is funded by the European Union fund for Rural development and the Welsh Government.

Dave Ashford talks to Gwyn Jones from the European Forum for Nature and Conservation Pastoralism.
