English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. We all recognise the health and well-being benefits of getting out into the great outdoors, and walking is a great way to do that. But, we're not all going to head up Pen y Fan or Eryri, and nor should we have to. What if there was a way to work with people right across Wales to improve nature and access to walking in their local areas? That's a great idea, and it's well under way. Throughout 2022 and 2023, the Paths to Wellbeing project has given 18 communities across Wales the tools and training to improve nature and access to walking in their local areas. Ramblers Cymru's flagship £1.2 million project is improving access to local green spaces, working on the ground with volunteers to give the tools and the free training needed to identify and design new routes and to enhance and upgrade existing ones. They're also working alongside the 22 local authorities, Wildlife Trust Wales, Coed Cadw, the Woodland Trust in Wales, and others to enhance the local environment for nature to thrive. With activities such as tree planting, wildflower sowing and wildlife activity days, there are plenty of activities for all ages and backgrounds to get involved with. It is led by the community for the community. By investing in local volunteers to manage and undertake practical path and habitat maintenance and improvements, community engagement, paths and green spaces will be strengthened, and the health and well-being benefits of nature and outdoor physical activity realised too. So, my thanks to Ramblers Cymru, of which I'm the proud vice president, and to all partners for this groundbreaking project right here in Wales.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Rydym i gyd yn cydnabod y manteision i iechyd a lles o fynd allan i'r awyr agored, ac mae cerdded yn ffordd wych o wneud hynny. Ond nid ydym i gyd yn mynd i heidio i Ben y Fan neu Eryri, ac ni ddylem orfod gwneud hynny ychwaith. Beth pe bai ffordd o weithio gyda phobl ar draws Cymru i wella natur a mynediad at gerdded yn eu hardaloedd lleol? Mae hynny'n syniad gwych, ac mae wedi hen ddechrau. Drwy gydol 2022 a 2023, mae'r prosiect Llwybrau at Les wedi rhoi adnoddau a hyfforddiant i 18 o gymunedau ledled Cymru ar gyfer gwella natur a mynediad at gerdded yn eu hardaloedd lleol. Mae prosiect blaenllaw y Cerddwyr, sy'n werth £1.2 miliwn, yn gwella mynediad at fannau gwyrdd lleol, gan weithio ar lawr gwlad gyda gwirfoddolwyr i roi'r offer a'r hyfforddiant am ddim sydd ei angen i nodi a llunio llwybrau newydd, ac i wella ac uwchraddio'r rhai presennol. Maent hefyd yn gweithio ochr yn ochr â'r 22 awdurdod lleol, Ymddiriedolaeth Bywyd Gwyllt Cymru, Coed Cadw ac eraill i wella'r amgylchedd lleol i natur allu ffynnu. Gyda gweithgareddau fel plannu coed, hau blodau gwyllt a dyddiau gweithgaredd bywyd gwyllt, mae digon o weithgareddau i bobl o bob oedran a chefndir gymryd rhan ynddynt. Fe'i harweinir gan y gymuned ar gyfer y gymuned. Drwy fuddsoddi mewn gwirfoddolwyr lleol i reoli ac ymgymryd â gwaith cynnal a chadw llwybrau a gwella cynefinoedd ymarferol, ymgysylltu â'r gymuned, bydd llwybrau a mannau gwyrdd yn cael eu cryfhau, a bydd manteision iechyd a lles natur a gweithgarwch corfforol awyr agored yn cael eu gwireddu hefyd. Felly, diolch i'r Cerddwyr, mudiad rwy'n is-lywydd balch arnynt, ac i bob partner am y prosiect arloesol hwn yma yng Nghymru.
