· OUR PROJECTS ·

Cwm Arian Renewable Energy (CARE) started with one big idea ~ raising a wind turbine near Llanfyrnach to generate clean, local energy. Since then, we’ve grown into a collection of projects that all share the same down-to-earth values: helping people build practical land-based skills, growing local renewable energy, and bringing our community together.

Our work spans three key areas: land, community, and energy. Whether it’s sharing food, restoring woodlands, offering energy advice, or keeping traditional crafts alive, our projects connect people with each other and the land around them.

LAND-BASED PROJECTS

HWB DYSGU'R TIR

Hwb Dysgu'r Tir is a space where people can learn new skills in sustainable land management, food production and nature recovery. It’s a great spot for running workshops and sharing knowledge, with a demo site to explore and get hands-on experience. The community garden is perfect for bringing everyone together to connect, grow, and collaborate on land-based projects.

COED UNO

Unlocking the benefits of North Pembrokeshire's woodlands, CoedUNO connects local communities with the region’s ancient forests. The project offers hands-on learning and skill-building in sustainable woodland management, conservation, and biodiversity. With workshops and training, CoedUNO ensures that woodlands provide lasting environmental and community benefits.

NYFER AM BYTH

Nyfer Am Byth unites locals to protect the River Nevern, focusing on water quality, invasive species, and biodiversity. With its unique wildlife and potential to reverse environmental decline, the project is creating a community catchment management plan to ensure a healthier river for the future.

HEATHLAND PROJECT

The Heathland Social Enterprise aims to support the management of heathland, common land and farms to protect and increase ecological value while utilising bracken and gorse as a resource to produce solid fuel briquettes.

EIN COED

Ein Coed lets people across Pembrokeshire share fruit and nut trees, like a book swap, making it easy for everyone to access a variety of trees suited to our climate. It’s a simple, free way to grow more local fruit and build a community of tree lovers. By sharing cuttings and seeds, we’re helping build resilience for a changing climate while fostering trust and cooperation.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS

Y STIWDIO

Y Stiwdio is a creative space where wellies are always welcome, a place to make, learn, and grow. A stunning eco-build made from recycled and natural materials, packed with clever energy-saving tech. The only CARE project with its own building, it’s a peaceful hub for hands-on creativity.

APPLE JUICING

Since 2021, we’ve been taking our apple juicing kit on tour to community spaces across Pembrokeshire. We’ve got a full industrial setup that you can borrow and take home, perfect for turning your apples into delicious fresh juice!

COMMUNITY MEALS

Our community meals have brought people together through local feasts and a community freezer. Always with the value of using local produce as much as possible and brining people together. We’re currently pausing the project while we explore ways to bring it back. Watch this space!
