The Cymdeithas Edward Llwyd organises regular country walks throughout Wales in sites of interest of the Welsh environment, including SSSIs and post-industrial landscapes. These are Welsh-language walking groups, although learners are just as welcome.[1]
They also organise a variety of nature and environmental activities, including lectures, publications and conservation work. They have worked on collecting and documenting the names of natural species.[2]
in 2010 society held a conference on Welsh toponymy, at which it was agreed to form the Welsh Place-Name Society.[3][4]
