Para 1.20	The charity has commissioned an initial feasibility report and engagement surveys of local residents to establish the premise for the project. We have also commissioned a land ownership survey and have begun contacted landowners to establish their feelings on the project. We have received quotes for full feasibility studies. We have identified an appropriate grant that may help us achieve this aim. We have held fundraising and awareness events in order to gauge public feeling about the project and taken field visits to similar projects in the vicinity. Whilst the project is in early stages, we have received expressions of support from town and community councils, schools and Brecon Beacons National Park, as well as small businesses.
