Nature Centre
Jenny Brownrigg
This book was produced in reference to Grizedale, Cumbria.

This publication is the result of the writers’ residency at Grizedale in 1999. Research was informed by work created by artists-in-residence during
that year, Grizedales’ own archives and correspondence, a range of guidebooks from the 1800’s to present day, National Park documents, official wilderness policies and educational work undertaken at 6 primary schools as part of the residency.

Examining how we perceive nature and landscape, Nature Centre looks in particular at the environments of Grizedale and the Lake District. It is
placed during a time at Grizedale when new art works in the forest had, for some, shattered the illusion of a rural idyll. This publication aims to
identify the gaps between people’s ideas about nature versus the reality of that nature.
