<\/a>The Forest of Dean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Many today people will know the Forest of Dean as a beautiful green area, but it is only by understanding what lies beneath that you can really appreciate how the people living and working here have influenced the landscape over many centuries.
The Foresters\u2019 Forest programme provided an opportunity for local people to expand their knowledge of archaeological and other historic features by carrying out surveys in the woodland, excavating important archaeological sites, and providing resource packs to local schools. It allowed us to build up a greater level of understanding about the rich heritage of the Forest, and it will enable future generations to enjoy and manage this important landscape more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This website provides background information and the key results of the works which were undertaken. We hope you enjoy exploring it and finding out more about the project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
