Site management
Looking after nature helps people, animals, and plants. It also means future generations can enjoy the beauty of Neath Port Talbot.
NPT Council is committed to protecting and enhancing nature across the county.
We manage a wide range of sites that are important for :
- biodiversity
- conservation
- public enjoyment
These sites are cared for under our Biodiversity Duty Plan.
Local Nature Reserves (LNRs)
The sites offer habitats like wetlands, woodlands and meadows.
We look after five special nature areas where you can:
- enjoy wildlife
- learn about the environment
- relax outdoors
These are located at:
- Eaglesbush Valley
- Pant-y-Sais Fen
- Swansea Canal
- Cwm Du Glan & Glanrhyd Plantation
- Bryn Tip
Country Parks
Our three Country Parks offer accessible ways to connect with nature:
These parks have easy accessible paths, useful facilities, and lovely nature for everyone to enjoy.
NPT Bee Friendly Scheme
Our NPT Bee Friendly Scheme is helping pollinators thrive across Neath Port Talbot.
By changing how we manage grasslands and roadside verges we are:
- supporting biodiversity
- improving soil health
- building a more resilient environment for wildlife and people
