Rhaglen ariannu newydd yw'r cynllun sy'n cael ei reoli gan Gyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru (WCVA). 

Bydd grantiau'n cael eu rhoi i gyfanswm o 27 o brosiectau ledled Cymru yn rownd ariannu gyntaf y cynllun. 

Gwnaeth Llywodraeth Cymru greu'r cynllun i gefnogi cymunedau lleol a phrosiectau amgylcheddol mewn ardaloedd y mae safleoedd tirlenwi wedi effeithio arnyn nhw. Treth Gwarediadau Tirlenwi (LDT) newydd Cymru, a gymerodd le Treth Tirlenwi'r DU ym mis Ebrill 2018, fydd yn talu amdano. 

Mae'r LDT yn dreth ar yr hyn y ceir gwared arno mewn safleoedd tirlenwi a chaiff ei chodi yn ôl pwysau'r gwastraff. 

Dyma'r tro i cyntaf i arian o'r Dreth Gwarediadau Tirlenwi gael ei ddefnyddio i gefnogi cynllun ariannu penodol Gymreig. 

Bydd hyd at £50,000 yr un ar gael i helpu prosiectau llwyddiannus sy'n ymdrin â'r amgylchedd, natur, ailddefnyddio, bioamrywiaeth a rheoli gwastraff. 

Dyma rai o'r prosiectau fydd yn cael arian: 

* Pembrokeshire Remakery \- £49,900 i helpu prosiect cymunedol sy'n ailaddysgu'r gymuned sut i atgyweirio a thrwsio a chyfrannu at leihau'r gwastraff sy'n mynd i domennydd sbwriel.
* Canolfan Teuluoedd y Betws, Sir Gaerfyrddin \- £8,000 i brosiect i wella safle awyr agored lle gall rheini a'u plant ddysgu sut i arddio, tyfu eu bwyd eu hunain a gwneud mwy o weithgarwch corfforol.
* Ysgol y Lawnt, Caerffili \- £10,600 i gefnogi prosiect i weddnewid tir yr ysgol o fod yn goedlan brysgwydd wyllt a segur yn safle ar gyfer gweithgareddau ac addysg awyr agored fydd yn gwella lles disgyblion a bioamrywiaeth.
* Menter Môn \- £49,900 i gefnogi prosiect sy'n mynd i'r afael â'r minc ar Ynys Môn a'i fygythiad i fioamrywiaeth yr ynys. O wneud dim, gallai'r ysglyfaethwr estron hwn ddifa llygod y dŵr a rhydyddion yr ynys.
* Ymddiriedolaeth Natur Vincent yn y Gogledd \- £49,900 ar gyfer prosiect sy'n gweithio gyda chymunedau lleol ac yn hyfforddi gwirfoddolwyr newydd i helpu'r boblogaeth o felaod i ymadfer ac i oroesi yn y tymor hir.

Mae ceisiadau ar gyfer yr ail rownd ariannu newydd gau. Ond caiff dwy rownd ariannu eu cynnal bob blwyddyn. Roedd yr ail rownd ariannu'n gwahodd prosiectau o arwyddocâd cenedlaethol sy'n costio rhwng £50,000 a £250,000 i ymgeisio. 

Roedd Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig, Lesley Griffiths, yn uchel ei chlod o'r cynllun a dywedodd y byddai'n arwain at nifer o fuddiannau amgylcheddol ehangach: 


> "Rwy wrth fy modd bod y Dreth Gwarediadau Tirlenwi wedi helpu 27 o brosiectau gyda rhagor na £1miliwn trwy Gynllun Cymunedol newydd y Dreth Gwarediadau Tirlenwi. 
> 
> "Daw'r prosiectau hyn â manteision mawr i gymunedau, yr amgylchedd a natur a bydd eu heffaith yn para am genedlaethau."

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid a’r Trefnydd: 


> "Gyda heriau Brexit ar ein gwarthaf, mae'n bwysicach nag erioed ein bod yn manteisio ar bob cyfle i ariannu prosiectau ymarferol sy'n dod â budd i'r bobl. 
> 
> "Hoffwn ddymuno pob lwc i bawb sy'n gwneud cais yn y rownd nesaf."

Dywedodd Ruth Marks, Prif Weithredwr WCVA: 


> "Mae'r ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus yn cynrychioli amrywiaeth gyffrous o brosiectau o bob rhan o'r wlad. O weithredu i wella cyfleusterau cymunedol lleol, gwella'r amgylchedd naturiol a lleihau gwastraff, caiff y prosiectau hyn effaith ardderchog yng Nghymru. 
> 
> "Gwnaeth y rownd gyntaf ennyn llawer iawn o ddiddordeb ac mae WCVA yn falch o gael gweithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru a'n partneriaid yn y Cynghorau Gwirfoddol Sirol i roi'r cynllun hwn ar waith."

The scheme is a new funding programme managed by Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA).   
A total of 27 projects across Wales will receive Grant Awards in the first round of funding raised by the scheme.   
The Welsh Government established the scheme to support local community and environmental projects in areas affected by disposals to landfill. It is funded by the new Welsh Landfill Disposals Tax (LDT) which replaced UK Landfill Tax in April 2018\.    
LDT is a tax on the disposal of waste to landfill and is charged by weight.  
It is the first time that money raised from the Landfill Disposals Tax has been used to support a bespoke Welsh funding scheme.   
Successful projects focusing on the environment, wildlife, reuse, biodiversity and waste management will receive funding of up to £50,000 each.      
Projects that will benefit include:* Pembrokeshire Remakery will see £49,900 support a community project aiming to re\-educate the community in repair and mend and contributing to reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill.
* Betws Family Centre in Carmarthenshire will see more than £8,000 go towards a project to enhance an outdoor space so parents and children can gain skills in gardening, growing their own food and be more physically active.
* Ysgol Y Lawnt in Caerphilly will receive £10,600 to support a project to transform the school grounds from overgrown and unused scrubby woodland to a space used for education and outdoor activities to improve the well\-being of the pupils and biodiversity.
* Menter Mon in Anglesey will see £49,900 to support a project that seeks to respond to the threat the American Mink poses to biodiversity on Anglesey. Without intervention, this non\-native predator could lead to the extinction of water voles and wading birds on the island.
* The Vincent Wildlife Trust in North Wales will see £49,900 go towards a project to engage with local communities and train new volunteers to ensure the recovering population of native pine martens survives in the long\-term.

Applications for a second round of funding have recently closed. However, two rounds of funding will take place in each year the scheme operates. The second round of funding included a call for a nationally significant project costing between £50,000\-£250,000\.  
Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths, praised the funding and said it would have a number of wider environmental benefits:   

> “I’m delighted the establishment of Landfill Disposals Tax has led to 27 projects benefitting from more than £1million through our new Landfill Disposals Tax Community Scheme.   
> “These projects will have far reaching benefits to communities, the environment and wildlife that will continue for generations to come.”

Minister for Finance and Trefnydd, Rebecca Evans, said:   

> “With the challenges of Brexit it is more important than ever that we utilise every opportunity we have to award funding to viable projects that will benefit the wider population.


> 


> “I’d like to wish the best of luck to everyone applying for the next round.”

Ruth Marks, WCVA’s Chief Executive, said:
> “The successful grant applicants represent a really exciting range of projects from across Wales. From taking action to improve local community facilities, enhancing the natural environment and promoting waste minimisation, these projects will have a great impact in Wales.“The first round generated a great deal of interest and WCVA is pleased to be working with Welsh Government and our County Voluntary Council partners to deliver this scheme.”
