The Sherwood Forest Archaeology Project is overseen by Mercian Archaeological Services CIC.
The project is able to achieve so much across such a wide area, and to involve so many people; due to Mercian working in partnership with many different organisations.
Working in partnership enables different organisations to come together to create a collective whole that is even greater than the sum of its parts.
Mercian are keen to work along side passionate and dynamic organisations, with a strong ethos for community working and involvement.
Fantastic examples of partnership working include the Big Lottery funded partnership between Mercian and the Sherwood Forest Trust which enabled up to 6,000 households to be engaged through project outputs, 1,500 people to attend the project, 500 school children to come to the site of King John’s Palace, and 125 people to excavate in July 2016.
Partnerships enable the Sherwood Forest Archaeology Project to provide projects and schemes across the landscape of Sherwood Forest, increasing peoples understanding of heritage, archaeology and community.
