Transforming the Trent Valley Landscape Partnership Scheme, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, delivered a range of heritage activities over 5 years between April 2019 and March 2024.
The scheme was a success, delivering its outcomes on time and within budget, and retains a strong partnership, headed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, that continues to work together and deliver projects within the Trent Valley.
Below, you can find a copy of the full evaluation report outlining our achievements and challenges as well as a short video summarising our ten biggest lessons from the scheme.
You can also view our celebration video where we share our successes, and take a look at the infographic summarising what we delivered over five years.
We have learned a lot over the last few years as we overcame challenges, evolved new ways of working and developed best practice. We have created a short video to share our 10 biggest lessons to help future landscape restoration and cultural heritage projects and project managers.
An external report was compiled by Simon Lees of the Countryside Training Partnership in the last quarter of the scheme to review our achievements, evaluate our success and extract learning outcomes for future legacy work.
The full report can be read here.
Some of the key outputs we achieved over the 5 years can be seen in our infographic. Outputs include volunteer engagement, access enhancements, habitat improvements, heritage conservation and community involvement.
We are proud of what we have achieved over the 5 years of our scheme and have created this short video showcasing our successes. From river restoration to access enhancements, wildlife recording to oral histories, and cultural heritage to traineeships, learn about our exciting projects, our challenges and our successes.
