A hands-on archaeology project for children and young people (ages 8–16) on Bodmin Moor. Activities include a scrub-clearing day followed by a test-pitting excavation, teaching practical archaeological skills such as excavation, recording, and finds identification.

A community project inviting local residents to experience Bodmin Moor’s heritage and Dark Sky Landscape through guided evening walks, stargazing sessions, and a creative community gathering. Activities combine storytelling, mythology, wildlife observation, and dark sky awareness, culminating in a handmade booklet of shared reflections, later digitised and shared online.

Learn the heritage skill of Cornish hedging, its historical significance, and gain hands-on experience restoring a 16-meter section of traditional wall. The day includes practical training by CREST, communal lunch, and opportunities for social interaction, aiming to connect farmers and the public while preserving cultural heritage.

The project aims to engage young people in exploring Bodmin Moor’s mining heritage and interpreting it through Minecraft-based digital reconstruction. In partnership with the Young Archaeologists’ Club and Liskeard Library, participants will gather data on the Caradon Mining District (Area 9 of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site) and transform it into an interactive virtual environment.

The project will create three multi-sensory stories that bring the natural heritage of Bodmin Moor to people who face barriers to accessing outdoor spaces. Each story combines simple text with tactile, visual, auditory, and scent elements and is housed in a portable vessel. The stories will be available to borrow from libraries in Bodmin, Launceston, and Liskeard, alongside community sessions and training to support their use.

FLOCK! is a creative engagement project exploring migratory birds, climate change, and cultural connections to Bodmin Moor. It will deliver workshops and guided field experiences for internationally educated NHS staff, Bodmin College students and local families. Activities include ecological learning, bird listening, sound recording, creative writing, and visual arts. The project culminates in a public sharing event and exhibition in Bodmin.

The project will enhance visitor engagement and promote responsible recreation at Golitha Falls National Nature Reserve through the installation of new artistic interpretation features and species monitoring tools, a series of guided walks and greater volunteer involvement.

The project celebrates 40 years of Sterts Arts & Environmental Centre and its transformation from a former pig farm into a creative and environmental hub on the edge of Bodmin Moor. It will invite local communities to explore and share their stories through community heritage workshops covering oral history, archival skills, and heritage mapping; founders’ sessions sharing early Sterts stories; a guided heritage walk; and pop-up memory booths in Liskeard, Launceston, and Sterts.

The project combines biodiversity enhancement and creative arts on the edge of Bodmin Moor, involving the planting of a new woodland and the creation of a symphonic musical composition inspired by the site’s natural heritage. The first movement, “The World of Invertebrates,” will be developed through fieldwork and sound walks at Westmoor, creative workshops at Altarnun Primary School, and the composition, notation, recording, and performance of music by children. The final outputs will include a film, recorded music, and a live performance, celebrating Bodmin Moor’s ecology and cultural identity

The project will offer walks and surveys with ecologists and soil scientists to teach monitoring and surveying techniques, alongside explorations of Peatlands and the China Clay heritage through hands-on clay workshops. Creative workshops for St Breward Primary School will combine outdoor learning with drawing and painting, while a Bioblitz Open Day will invite the whole community to showcase findings and engage in ecology and heritage activities.

The project aims to collect biodiversity data across key tributaries of the Fowey catchment, including Warleggan, Cardinham Water, and St Neot, to establish a baseline for monitoring the environmental benefits of beaver activity. This will involve eDNA water sampling to identify species present, Riverfly surveys to monitor water quality and health, and wildlife monitoring using trail cameras. Volunteers will receive training in these techniques as well as in beaver ecology, helping to build local skills and foster community involvement in nature recovery efforts.

The project reconnects communities with Bodmin Moor’s cultural and natural heritage through creative pottery workshops, archaeological walks, and exhibitions. Inspired by the Rillaton Barrow and Bronze Age traditions, participants will explore ancient sites such as The Hurlers and Rillaton Barrow on a guided archaeological walk, create pottery beads and a collaborative ceramic cauldron using locally foraged materials and traditional wood-firing techniques, and engage with mythology, ecology, and animist practices, linking art to archaeology and environmental stewardship. The project will culminate in exhibitions showcasing both collaborative artwork and individual creations.
