About Snowdonia-Active

Snowdonia-Active is a social enterprise working to support and develop the outdoor sector in North West Wales. Established in 2001 with a clear determination to raise the profile of the outdoor sector and safeguard its interests.

We have a strong ethos of sustainable development within the sector and work to ensure developments are in sympathy with the environment, local culture and the prevailing sporting ethos.

We work with the Welsh Assembly Government and its key statutory bodies in a number of ways. This work includes monitoring, consulting and being consulted on issues as wide ranging as:

• Outdoor activity specific marketing
• Health & Safety
• Insurance
• Business support
• Access to inland water
• Infrastructure developments
• Environmental impact
• Outdoor sector cluster development
• Outdoor activity specific tourist information provision
• The CROW Act
• The Countryside Code
• Rural regeneration.

With a strong network of associates Snowdonia-Active has undertaken a number of research projects, feasibility studies and consultancies all with direct relevance to capacity building within the sector. We now actively seek to be involved with projects that have outcomes that will contribute to the development of the sector.
