Premiered Jun 5, 2024 KILVEY HILL COMMUNITY WOODLAND
โProtecting Kilvey Woodlandโ tells the story of Kilvey Hillโits past, present, and future. The Industrial Revolution left Kilvey Hill barren and toxic, devoid of flora and fauna. Over three generations, the people of Swansea East worked tirelessly to restore the hill, creating a haven for both wildlife and the community. Since the 1990s, Kilvey Woodland Volunteers and Natural Resources Wales have dedicated themselves to caring for and managing the area. Today, Kilvey Hill is a nationally designated quiet area, cherished as a 'stomping ground' for children over the decades. However, its future is now under threat from a foreign-owned tourist development. Despite overwhelming oppositionโevidenced by a petition, survey, and community consultation by local volunteersโSwansea Council is still pressing ahead with the development. Widespread objections to the disposal of the land are being ignored. The health and welfare benefits of the woodland to local people are immense, including hiking, dog-walking, bird-watching, horse riding, social prescribing, and regular community events, to name but a few. Kilvey Hill is located in an area of poverty, and the woodland is the only green space where people can enjoy nature. It must be protected for future generations.
An iconic 'Green Man' sculpture
which has sat on Kilvey Hill since 1998 now stands alone as tree felling and major groundwork has begun for a multi-million pound Skyline leisure development. The Green Man of Kilvey, a mythical figure built by local man Pete Thomas, has stood for nearly 30 years.
