Tamar Valley Archaeology and Heritage Symposium

Our environment is in a state of crisis; Britain is one of the most nature-depleted places on Earth and our river systems are now more infamous for their polluted state that their health and abundance. But what of the state of heritage, of Man?s past manipulations and impacts in these places? What heritage has gone unseen, what is at risk and why, and what opportunities might it present in turning around this natural catastrophe?

This collection of talks by leading experts in their fields will explore the challenging interface between environmental change, impacts on heritage, and nature-focussed projects in the Tamar Catchment. The event aspires to show the potential of a future informed by the past.
