Breaking New Ground

Reconnecting People with The Brecks

Our Projects

The main priority of the Breaking New Ground Landscape Partnership was:

to connect communities with the landscape through the conservation and restoration of the natural and built heritage features; features that make the Brecks landscape so distinctive.
