Vision
Statement:
The Creswell Heritage Trust intends to achieve World
Heritage Status for Creswell Crags and in so doing make
a major contribution to the environmental, economic and
social future of the former rural coalfield of North East
Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire.
The
key aims of Creswell Heritage Trust are to:
Manage the heritage resource of Creswell Crags to ensure
its conservation and preservation for the benefit of the
public
Interpret and present the archaeological resource to the
public in an informative, entertaining and popular manner,
in order to advance public knowledge, awareness and interest
in archaeology and of the need for conservation
Promote archaeological research and publication in the
interests of conservation, interpretation and the establishment
of the Trust as a centre of educational excellence for
the archaeology and environment of the Quaternary period.
The
Trust is an independent Charitable Trust and a Company Limited
by Guarantee. The Trust is managed by a Council of Management
that includes representatives from local government, the
private sector, archaeologists and ecologists.
