The Swaledale Project: Introduction
SWAAG has been awarded a grant through the
Yorkshire
Dales LEADER programme for The Swaledale Project – 7000 Years of a
Landscape and its People.
Funding is being made available through the Rural Development Programme
for England, which is jointly funded by Defra and the European Union
(The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development,
http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/rurdev ).
Over the period to December 2013, The Swaledale Project will bring to
life the interaction between the physical environment and historic human
settlement and activity in our two dales.
Our programme will include surveys, records, reports and guides on the
geology and vegetation of our area as they relate to past human
activity; surveys, excavation and reports on a range of type sites;
regular guided walks; activities with local schools; liaison with local
tourist providers to develop walking trails, and opportunities for
volunteers to develop skills relating to all these activities.
PLEASE monitor the Swaledale Project
Activities pages and our main SWAAG Home and Meetings pages for
news of other activities and events.
