Lunt Meadows Wetlands Nature Reserve and Flood Storage Reservoir is a unique site, a haven for wildlife, a rare archaeological secret and a flood storage reservoir protecting homes from a changing climate.
With approximately 30000 visitors a year, the reserve is popular with dog-walkers, bird-watchers and as a place to socialise or exercise, but many visitors do not realise what a fantastic, multi-purpose resource Lunt Meadows really is.
The Presenting Mesolithic and Modern Life project, will be a 5-year long partnership between several North West organisations; Lancashire Wildlife Trust, the Museum of Liverpool, the Dept. of History and Archaeology, University of Chester, Soroptimist International Crosby and the Environment Agency. The project aims to present Lunt Meadows to visitors and the extended community, giving them an understanding of how humans have interacted with the landscape over thousands of years, how landscape changes affect human lives and how these choices influence our future.
