The Bog Geo Garden, Shropshire
Client
Task
To work with The Bog Centre volunteers, local residents and stakeholders to produce interpretation panels and a new visitor centre for this former lead mine site. Our client was Shropshire County Council and we worked in partnership with Anglezarke Dixon Associates.
Process
We held community workshops to seek consensus on outputs and to identify themes and stories. We worked closely with local stakeholder organisations and involved them in all aspects of the project.
Benefits
- The interpretation materials successfully met the varied needs of the client, volunteers and visitors.
- The materials accompanied enhancements to the landscape that improved visitor access to the site.
- Interpretation explained the history and ecology of the site, within the wider environment of the Shropshire Hills AONB.
