Creu-ad works to reveal the spirit of place to responsive visitors and strengthen the connection between local communities and sites.

Creu-ad aims to present our natural and cultural environment to as wide a public as possible.

Creu-ad actively involves members of the local community in new ways, through art and science, with places already familiar to them.

Creu-ad combines understanding of site geomorphology and ecology with aesthetic appreciation and emotional engagement with the natural environment
