Cymdeithas Twmbarlwm Society presents:

An Illustrated Talk

by Gavin Jones

of The Living Levels Partnership

Wednesday 25th March 2020

Crosskeys RFC – Doors open 7.00pm

Almost the entirety of the Gwent Levels is visible from the top of Twmbarlwm and the Mynnyd Maen ridgeway – and, obviously vice-versa – as such both landscapes must have historical links from earliest times.

Gavin will give us an insight into how life developed in this historic landscape with information uncovered by the the work of the Living Levels Partnership – and of course he’ll be telling us all about their work and how you could get involved in this exciting project.

Living Levels Landscape Partnership

‘The GWENT Levels are an iconic, estuarine landscape of international significance along the banks of the Severn Estuary’. This special landscape of high skies is one of the largest tracts of bio-diverse wet grasslands left in the UK.’

The Living Levels Landscape Partnership (LLLP) is a National Lottery Heritage Funded (HLF) Landscape Partnership Scheme which aims to reconnect people and communities to the Gwent Levels landscape and provide a sustainable future for this historic and unique area.

Gavin Jones is the Community Engagement Officer for this project and will be discussing the unique landscape of the Gwent Levels and why its history and heritage has played such an important role in its development and its standing as a unique landscape within Wales. He will also present the many projects being delivered under Living Levels, with the aim of securing the future of this ‘forgotten’ landscape.
