This website is maintained by the Going Green Directorate (GGD).
The GGD grew from a 1994 gathering of
school teachers and academics in Wales. The meeting was sponsored by the
Countryside Council for Wales, Dyfed County Council, and the local Texaco
oil refinery. This partnership was based in the St Clears Teacher's
Resource Centre. From here, a successful award- winning pilot was led by
Pembrokeshire schools to create and evaluate a system of neighbourhood
environmental appraisals, and network the local findings from school to
school.
The objective of the GGD is to promote
practical conservation management through environmental appraisal and the
long-term management of neighbourhood historical assets, green spaces and
community services to promulgate a sense of place, improve quality of life
and enhance biodiversity
