About the CLAS Cymru Awards
The CLAS (Community Land Advisory Service) Cymru Community Management Awards began in 2019 and are run by Social Farms and Gardens to acknowledge the community management of green spaces.
Green spaces include a range of vegetated land such as parks, community gardens, orchards, woodlands and hedges, informal green spaces, allotments and food growing sites, plus areas of water, including rivers, canals, lakes, ponds. Community managed spaces like these are valuable for both people and nature. They are also run by volunteers who give up their spare time for their local environment and community. A CLAS Cymru Award is a stepping stone to achieving a Green Flag Community Award run by Keep Wales Tidy.
The Welsh Government funded CLAS Cymru award recognises the efforts of the community in managing their green space and acknowledges what they have achieved to date. It also means the project is recognised as being a step closer to achieving the Green Flag Community Award run by Keep Wales Tidy.
To achieve this Community Management Green Space Award, groups need to show that they are insured for their activities, have permission from the landowner to use the site, that they are involving the community in their decision making and working with partners such as the local authority.
