Wild Skills, Wild Spaces is funded through the Sustainable Management Scheme - Welsh Government Rural Communities - Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, which is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Welsh Government. The evaluation has been undertaken by a team from the Centre for Health, Activity, and Wellbeing Research (CAWR), at Cardiff Metropolitan University (Cardiff Met). CAWR were commissioned by MWT to design and deliver the evaluation.</p> <p>The evaluation used a mixed methods approach incorporating both outcome and process evaluation methods, with input from participants, stakeholders, and deliverers. The findings concern both young people (YP; under 18 years of age) and adults (those 18 years and older) and relate to wellbeing, connection to nature, and physical activity.</p> <p>Mae'r adroddiad hwn yn rhoi gwerthusiad trosolwg o'r rhaglen Sgiliau Gwyllt, Mannau Gwyllt (WSWS), sef rhaglen ecotherapi, dwy flynedd seiliedig ar natur, a gaiff ei harwain a’i darparu gan Ymddiriedolaeth Natur Sir Drefaldwyn (MWT). Mae’r rhaglen Sgiliau Gwyllt, Mannau Gwyllt yn cael ei hariannu drwy'r Cynllun Rheoli Cynaliadwy - Cymunedau Gwledig Llywodraeth Cymru - Rhaglen Datblygu Gwledig 2014-2020, a ariennir gan Gronfa Amaethyddol Ewrop ar gyfer Datblygu Gwledig a Llywodraeth Cymru. Cynhaliwyd y gwerthusiad gan dîm o'r Ganolfan Ymchwil ar gyfer Iechyd, Gweithgarwch a Lles (CAWR), ym Mhrifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd (Met Caerdydd). Comisiynwyd CAWR gan MWT i gynllunio a chyflwyno'r gwerthusiad.</p> <p>Defnyddiwyd dulliau cymysg ar gyfer y gwerthusiad gan ymgorffori dulliau gwerthuso canlyniadau a phrosesau, gyda mewnbwn gan gyfranogwyr, rhanddeiliaid a darparwyr. Mae'r canfyddiadau'n ymwneud â phobl ifanc (PI; o dan 18 oed) ac oedolion (y rhai 18 oed a hŷn) ac yn ymwneud â lles, cysylltiad â natur a gweithgarwch corfforol.</p>
