Abstract: |
A palaeoenvironmental assessment was undertaken as part of the Grow with Wyre project (centred on NGR SO 745 765), a Landscape Partnership Scheme. The lead organisation is the Forestry Commission, along with Natural England, Shropshire County Council, Bewdley Development Trust, Butterfly Conservation, Worcestershire County Council, Wyre Forest District Council and the National Trust. The project aims to ensure the long-term social, environmental and economic sustainability of the Wyre landscape. The work is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, SITA Trust, Natural Assets, Biffaward and GrantScape. The assessment aimed to map small wetland sites (or areas where organic deposits could be expected to survive) in the form of a GIS and assess the potential for survival of organic deposits and their accessibility for fieldwork. These sites are of potential for providing valuable information on the past landscape and human activity over time. The information will enhance the Historic Environment Records for Worcestershire and Shropshire, providing a toolkit to help archaeological planners manage the wetland aspect of the historic environment, and may be of interest to various groups for research (for example university researchers and community groups). |
