Ruislip Woodland Centre

Ruislip Woodland Centre
Overview:

Ruislip Woods is one of the oldest woodlands in the UK. It was important the interpretation design supported green values. The team drew on the principles of the circular economy and incorporated elements of the former exhibit, such as display cases and a large local meadow mural, all of which were repurposed. In addition, materials included printed soft-ply timbers, handmade hurdles, and hardwearing laminate worktops.

Features included seasonal spinners, interactive maps, sound stories, a craft corner and a tracing table.

Within 12 weeks from first appointment to final funding submission, Beth, and the wider team, delivered an inspirational Interpretation Action Plan for Our Picturesque Landscape. It supported our successful Heritage Lottery Fund bid. We are thankful for their support with everything.

I have worked with Beth on several projects including Toad Hall and Flamingo Lagoon. It was a real joy working with her every time. She has a very good eye for detail and is great at listening to the needs of a client. Beth is great at what she does, I have learnt a lot from her along the way.

Beth project managed our vision for a pond dipping station at RSPB Loch Lomond, one of Scotland’s most highly designated sites. She created concept visualisations, for translation into technical drawings, bringing the project through planning & delivery. Feedback we’ve received from visitors, RSPB staff and volunteers has been excellent.
