Description of the goods or services required

The Living Levels Partnership is a Landscape Partnership Scheme (LPS) being developed by RSPB Cymru (lead agency), Gwent Wildlife Trust, Monmouthshire County Council, Natural Resources Wales, Newport City Council, Cardiff Council, Sustrans, National Trust, Buglife, Bumblebee Conservation Trust and Cardiff Story Museum. The Partnership has come together and developed a range of Projects that will work towards conserving and enhancing the natural heritage of the Gwent Levels and re-connect people with this amazing landscape on their doorstep.

The Gwent Levels is a South Wales estuarine landscape, rich in both historical and natural heritage. Reclaimed from the sea in Roman times, the land is a criss-crossed network of fertile fields and historic watercourses, known locally as reens. This unassuming yet appealing landscape of high skies and low horizons belies its stature as one of the finest examples of a community crafted landscape in Europe; and one of the largest tracts of bio-diverse wet grassland left in the UK.

Living Levels formally brings together like-minded but disparate stakeholders to work cross sector to collectively restore, enhance and protect the natural and historic heritage for all to enjoy. We will reconnect with diverse communities that live and work on the levels through stories, highlighting the importance and interdependence of communities and landscape, instilling and celebrating a sense of place and inspiring visitors to the area.
