PeatZine: Moorland Stories Along the Calderdale Way

Introducing Peatzine– a trail and a beautifully produced zine which is part art, part science, part heritage, and entirely rooted in the local landscape

The zine was curated by Katie Bates, the creative producer, and designed by Louise Crosby. It is a 44 page booklet, with a pullout A3 map of the PeatZine trail with interactive prompts, and the Nature Notebook aimed at children. The zine is composed of 

• Paul Knights’ “Moor Stories” writing
• poems created in the creative writing workshops
• illustrations from the Cubs
• visual artwork created by Calderdale College students
• photos from the National Trust, Calderdale Sphagnum Moss Project and workshop participants 
• A section on map-making by Christopher Goddard, with examples from participants from the map-making sessions
• artwork from the creative team 

The zine also includes QR links to sound clips, which are hosted on Jo Kennedy’s website.
