The Story
The Moorlands is teeming with fascinating geological landscapes, mythology, folklore, and untapped narratives of nature & the wild. But how does this impact us, the people that live there? Our relationship with such a beautiful natural landscape and what is the story waiting to be told?
The project will explore themes of nature, mythology, climate change, urban rewilding, rural isolation and issues specific to the Moorlands.
