Consultant to undertake delivery of Miner2 Major Landscape Partnership Primary school heritage project working with local communities

Descriptions

Miner2Major is a five-year Landscape Partnership Scheme (2019-2023), supported by a £2,450,400 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. It will play a significant role in promoting and safeguarding the natural, built and cultural heritage at the historic core of Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire. Miner2Major is delivered by a partnership of organisations that have been active in the Sherwood Forest area for many years. Nottinghamshire County Council is the lead partner and accountable body and will be the commissioning organisation. Details of Miner2Major can be found on the Scheme website:www.miner2major.org.uk The Miner2Major Landscape Partnership area, see Appendix One, covers a region from the northern edge of Nottingham at Bestwood Park, past the eastern edge of Mansfield, to the river Meden between Warsop and Ollerton. The western edge is defined by a string of towns - Hucknall, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Mansfield. The eastern boundary is formed by the A614 and incorporates Rufford Park. One of the projects being delivered by Miner2Major is called Century of Change. This project will explore the significant change that the Sherwood Forest landscape and society underwent in the period 1850 - 1950 through a series of interlinked Primary school research projects.
