Aspects of Farming and Conservation Course - quotes from High Schools

A Norfolk High School

"It is a very valuable day.  the morning session on the effect of trampling on farm footpaths, allows us to cover several ecological techniques in a practical setting.  This is invaluable preparation for the Unit 6 of the Environmental Science A2 where the students have to choose and complete an individual piece of ecological coursework.  The illustrated talk and farm visit in the afternoon covers a vital part of the Module 4 - Biotic Resource Management, where the students have to study agricultural production systems and their environmental impacts.  It is very useful to know and understand the latest E.U. legislation and conservation management techniques from a practicing farmer" 

 

A Suffolk High School

" The course was excellent.  Liz  directs the course to meet our specific requirements ie to consider the conflict of interests in farming between achieving maximum productivity, whilst enhancing/maintaining maximum bio diversity".
