Projects
The Society supports the objectives of the National Park in a number of ways, by undertaking a range of regular activities as well as participating in and leading major projects.
Major projects
International Dark Skies Reserve.+
in 2011 the Brecon Beacons Park Society initiated and was one of the main driving forces behind a project to control light pollution in the Brecon Beacons National Park. This collaborative project with the Park Authority, the University of South Wales, local government, and many other organisations and communities and supported by the Prince of Wales, was very successful in protecting the quality of our night sky.
In recognition of the work of project, in 2013 the Brecon Beacons National Park became an International Dark Sky Reserve, only the fifth in the world at that time.
Tramroads
The purpose of the project is to identify, map and survey as many as possible of the historical tramroad sites in the Brecon Beacons National Park which still show any signs of their existence, while also acknowledging those which have now disappeared.
