Swansea Building Society has expanded its tree-planting initiative at Penllergare Valley Woods by planting over 800 native trees and shrubs over two days in March 2025.
A team of 28 staff members participated, also working to clear invasive plants like rhododendron and laurel.
This builds on their centenary year effort in 2023, which included planting 100 trees.
Alun Williams, chief executive of Swansea Building Society, said: “We are proud to build upon our previous efforts to enhance biodiversity at Penllergare Valley Woods.
“Planting 800 native trees and tackling invasive species will help preserve this historic and ecologically vital landscape.
“As a mutual organisation, we are deeply committed to supporting our local communities and their natural environments. We hope our contribution will make a lasting difference for both wildlife and visitors alike.”
Lee Turner, general manager of the Penllergare Trust, said: “The support from Swansea Building Society is invaluable in our mission to protect and restore Penllergare Valley Woods.
“Their ongoing commitment helps us create a healthier ecosystem by introducing native trees and tackling the challenges posed by invasive species.
“We are incredibly grateful for their dedication to conservation and the local community.”
