In 1818 the Royal Forest of Exmoor was sold to the Knight family, who set about the largest single land reclamation scheme in southern England. Their efforts at land reclamation, plannedsettlement, arable farming and landscape design continued for over 70, before being finally abandoned. This talk will draw on results of the "Reclaiming Exmoor" project, a 2-yr research
programme led by Ralph with Professor Henry French (University of Exeter), combining historical archival information with new highly detailed palaeoecological research.
