Don't miss your chance to visit The Allerton Project, the GWCT’s pioneering demonstration farm, to showcase the cutting-edge research work being done there.

The day will include a presentation to discuss the project, the last 30 years of research and a farm walk to highlight areas of research and results.

There will be refreshments such as coffee/tea throughout the day and there will also be a lunch provided.

The Allerton Project

The Allerton Project researches the effects of different farming methods on wildlife and the environment, sharing results of our research through advisory and educational activities. This is undertaken on our 320 hectare demonstration farm based in Leicestershire, United Kingdom.

Visitors to the project include businesses, policy makers, non-government organisations, regulators, farmers, advisors, students and schools. There are several initiatives that involve the local community to help improve a shared understanding of agricultural and environmental issues.

In essence, the Allerton Project is an award winning, pioneering blueprint for future rural landscapes.

Speakers include:

  • Alastair Leake, Director of Policy and the Allerton Project
  • Joe Stanley, Head of Training & Partnerships, The Allerton Project

Bydd te a choffi ar gael drwy gydol yr ymweliad, a bydd cinio yn cael ei ddarparu i bawb a fydd yn mynychu.

Prosiect Allerton

Mae Prosiect Allerton yn ymchwilio i effeithiau dulliau ffermio ar fywyd gwyllt, a’r amgylchedd, gan rannu canlyniadau ein gwaith ymchwil drwy weithgareddau ymgynghorol ac addysgiadol. Gwneir hyn ar ein ffarm arddangos 320 hectar yn Swydd Gaerlŷr, DU.

Mae ymwelwyr i’r prosiect yn cynnwys busnesau, gwneuthurwyr polisi, sefydliadau, rheolyddion, ffermwyr, ymgynghorwyr, myfyrwyr ac ysgolion. Mae nifer o fentrau sy’n cynnwys y gymuned leol er mwyn helpu i wella dealltwriaeth a rennir ynglŷn â materion amaethyddol ac amgylcheddol.

Mae Prosiect Allerton yn gynllun penodedig arloesol ar gyfer tirweddau gweldig y dyfodol. Mae eisoes wedi ennill gwobrau am y gwaith hyn.

Siaradwyr yn cynnwys:

  • Alastair Leake, Cyfarwyddwr Polisi a Phrosiect Allerton
  • Joe Stanley, Pennaeth Hyfforddi a Phartneriaethau, Phrosiect Allerton
