Historic England Supports Landscape Recovery Project on Hadrian’s Wall
Historic England has awarded £68,435 to Northumberland National Park Authority to help fund a landscape-scale nature recovery project in one of the UK’s most iconic landscapes.
The Hadrian's Wall Recovering Nature project will restore habitats, including peatlands and water courses, increase wildlife, and inspire people of all ages and abilities to connect with the natural and historic environment through volunteering, activities and events.
The project focuses on the historic landscape north of the central section of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage site, around Greenlee Lough; it includes several historic sites, including stone circles, Roman forts, aqueducts, and camps.
Historic England’s £68,435 grant will help fund the post of Landscape Recovery Engagement Officer, who will work with the public to deliver a programme of heritage-related events, research and activities which explore the link between heritage and nature in the local landscape.
England's rural landscape is a jewel of our national heritage, formed by people living on and working the land over thousands of years. The Hadrian's Wall Recovering Nature project is an exciting opportunity to showcase the link between heritage and nature and to demonstrate the value of investing in both for the benefit of future generations.
