Green infrastructure
Neath Port Talbot Council is transforming communities through green infrastructure. We are making places better by planting trees and restoring wetlands.
What’s happening now
Connecting green infrastructure project
Working with local partners, we’re:
- planting trees to improve air quality and shade urban areas
- restoring wetlands to reduce flood risk and support wildlife
- creating pollinator-friendly spaces to boost biodiversity
Decarbonisation and Renewable Energy Strategy (DARE)
Our DARE strategy uses green infrastructure to tackle climate change through:
- carbon sequestration
- pollution reduction
- climate resilience
Benefits of green infrastructure

More habitats mean more wildlife
Flood protection
Wetlands and trees help manage water naturally
