Research and monitoring at Auchnerran

The recent history and location of Auchnerran provides numerous opportunities for research. Use the links to the left to explore our core monitoring work and specific research projects targeting various species found in abundance at Auchnerran.

We are striving to exploit the resources on the farm and are keen to work with any interested individuals or organisations. We have current collaborations running with the James Hutton Institute, Moredun Research Institute and, in the LIFE LaserFence project, with Liverpool John Moores University and a number of EU collaborators.

At a local level, we are developing relationships with other farmers and land managers in the Dee catchment in the hope that we can collaborate as a Farmer Cluster. This is where a group of farmers coordinate their activities so as to avoid wasted effort and maximise their impact on wildlife at a large scale, which is always most effective.
