A team of 40 local volunteers and workers from Caerphilly County Borough Council helped tidy the patch of land by planting native flowers and bulbs, cleaning up the nearby water course and track way and collecting litter.
Keep Wales Tidy, staff from nearby Tesco, McDonalds and Crossways Tavern and pupils from the Eco-Club at nearby Bedwas Junior School joined in the clean-up, which in just a few hours saw more than two tonnes of litter and larger household items collected from the watercourse and footways.
Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Environmental Cleansing and Fast Forward teams also took part in the clean up.
More than 2,000 bulbs were planted to brighten up the area.
Councillor Lyn Ackerman, cabinet member for the environment said: “It is pleasing to see so many people getting involved and doing their bit for the local environment.
“I would especially like to thank the local school children from Bedwas Primary School who showed genuine enthusiasm in helping to make their local area clean, tidy and more attractive.”
Cllr Ron Davies, cabinet member for regeneration and countryside, said: “This initiative demonstrates that by working together, we can make a real difference to the quality of our environment.”
