GWCT’s Director of the Game and Wildlife Scottish Demonstration Farm (GWSDF), Dr Louise de Raad, is delighted to invite you to attend a “Walk & Talk” event at Auchnerran farm (Logie Coldstone, AB34 5PT, Aberdeenshire) on Wednesday 7th June 2023.

Working in partnership with Pasture For Life and Nofence, we will host a day where:

  • Dr Louise de Raad (Head of Research GWCT & Director of GWSDF) will give a background to Auchnerran demonstration farm and the farming techniques that are currently being trialled.
  • Nikki Yoxall (Head of Research – Pasture for Life) will provide an introduction to different grazing strategies and discuss the benefits of mob grazing.
  • Rachel Fuller (Nofence) will give a demonstration of NoFence’s ‘virtual fencing’ technology that allows graze animals on pasture, moorland or in woodland without the need for fencing.
  • We will have a Farm Walk to see Nofence collars and mob grazing in action and there will be the opportunity to speak to other farmers who have been using Nofence virtual fencing solution.

The day will run from 10am – 3pm with a light lunch available for all. Please e-mail GWSDF@gwct.org.uk if you have any dietary requirements.
