Tir Cymen was a scheme that aimed to preserve traditional landscapes and it was followed by Tir Gofal, which encouraged the creation of ponds and wetlands, the planting of woodland and the preservation of hedgerows. Both of these are now closed to new entrants. The most recent initiative is Glastir, which is more objective than the previous schemes,[2] offering financial support to participants, with the specific aims of combating climate change, improving water management and maintaining and enhancing biodiversity.[26]
