Exploring sustainable rural landscapes through cultural heritage objects in Wester Ross Biosphere
​
A team of researchers at UHI are working with local communities to explore the different ways people engage with rural landscapes over time. During this evening event we'll learn about objects in the Museum collection and discuss their significance in terms of sustainable rural landscapes in past, present and for the future.
​
The workshop will be facilitated with involvement from Zoe Russell, a research associate at the Centre for Mountain Studies, UHI working on CULTIVATE.
The workshop will be an in person event held at the Museum, but we will also be sharing the event online to join in remotely. Both in-person tickets and online tickets can be booked via the link below. If you have any queries please email events@gairlochmuseum.org.
