Are you interested in sharing your stories of Bodmin Moor? For example, farming and rural traditions, (including use of the commons), memories of market days, the Liskeard Show, as well as childhood memories of visiting the moor. The stories will be recorded (voice only) and kept in the archive at Kresen Kernow, Redruth for future generations. If you are interested in taking part, or want more information please contact Dr Jo Buchanan, e-mail [email protected]
The project is called ‘Moorland voices - Landscape, Memory and Rural Traditions’ and is part of Cornwall National Landscape’s ‘Natural Beauty and the Beast’ initiative, which is about bringing people together to celebrate our shared heritage, support sustainable farming, create meaningful access to the landscape, and celebrates this wonderful landscape on our doorstep. As part of this project, we are inviting people to share their stories, traditions, memories and experiences of the moor. The aim is to explore the interactions between people and place, of communities living on and near to Bodmin Moor, and how each shapes the other. We would love to hear from you. If you want to take part please e-mail, or phone Cornwall National Landscape 01872 324239.
