To preserve, improve and advance education in the craft of dry stone walling for the benefit of the public.

Gwarchod, gwella a hyrwyddo addysg am y grefft o godi waliau cerrig sych er lles y cyhoedd.

The Dry Stone Walling Association was founded in 1968. It is a national charity which aims to "preserve, improve and advance education in the craft of dry stone walling for the benefit of the public". The basic aims of the North & South Wales Branch reflect this, encouraging Waller's of all abilities, both professional and amateur, to improve the quality and quantity of their work and encouraging the repair and maintenance of existing walls rather than their destruction. Both Branches run a program of events, including training courses, displays and competitions. The current program, plus additional information, of each Branch can be seen by clicking on the link to the Branch.

The DSWA produces a range of leaflets which can be downloaded from the Publications section.

Sefydlwyd Cymdeithas Waliau Cerrig Sychion (Dry Stone Walling Association, neu DSWA) yn 1968. Elusen genedlaethol yw'r Gymdeithas, gyda'r nod o "warchod, gwella a hyrwyddo addysg am y grefft o godi waliau cerrig sych er lles y cyhoedd". Mae amcanion sylfaenol Canghennau Gogledd a De Cymru yn adlewyrchu hyn, gan annog codwyr waliau o bob gallu, yn broffesiynol ac yn amatur, i wella safon a swm eu gwaith, a gan annog atgyweiriad a chynhaliaeth waliau yn hytrach na'u dinistriad. Cynhelir rhaglen o ddigwyddiadau gan y ddwy Gangen gan gynnwys cyrsiau hyfforddi, arddangosfeydd a chystadlaethau. Gellir gweld rhaglen bresennol pob cangen, yn ogystal â gwybodaeth ychwanegol, trwy glicio ar ddolenni'r Canghennau.

Cynhyrchir ystod eang o daflenni gan y DSWA, a gellir eu lawrlwytho yn yr adran Cyhoeddiadau.
