Cornwall National Landscape

Our archaeological team will be working other project partners on the physical conservation of some of these sites as well as writing up management plans for them going forward. So there will be lots of opportunities for volunteers to be involved and learn new skills whilst improving the historic environment of Cornwall.

With a strong health and wellbeing focus to the project, there will be numerous opportunities for people to get involved in the work to remove as many sites as possible from the Heritage at Risk Register. Wellbeing focused activities such as forest bathing and meditation will be on offer, as well as a wide-ranging volunteer programme focused on archaeology and ecology to help conserve the scheduled monuments. By providing opportunities for people to connect to their local heritage, spend more time outdoors, meet new people and actively make a difference to their local area, the project is aiming to boost wellbeing and empower local communities to care for the scheduled monuments on their doorstep.

Project legacies will include on site interpretation at some of the sites, management plans and also tool kits and training packages to enable communities to carry on with the works in the future.
