7000 Years of a Landscape and its People

The Swaledale Project: Introduction

SWAAG was awarded a grant through the Yorkshire Dales LEADER programme for The Swaledale Project – 7000 Years of a Landscape and its People from 2011-2013. In addition additional support has been granted by the YDNPA Sustainable Fund and NMRS.

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.
