As part of the Ripples through Time project, a number of work streams were implemented including:. Included entrances, paths, steps and fencing as well as creating four new walking routes around the reserve. These have seen the introduction of new way markers to guide visitors around the site, each with their own story to tell. The funding also allowed us to renew access to the viewing area of the Seven Sisters Mine which had been fenced off and inaccessible to the public for over seven years and build two new viewing platforms at the Northern and Southern ends of the mine.
A new car park was also built for the National Nature Reserve. This is located off Wrens Hill Road. A Learning and Community Development Officer was appointed to develop the learning, interpretation, volunteer and community development aspects of the nature reserve. Development of learning resources including on-site and outreach programmes, website, online learning packages including podcast and expanded guided walks, talks and special events have been developed.
