More than 50 people recently enjoyed a farm walk at one of the North Sea Region (NSR) Interreg PARTRIDGE project’s demonstration sites in the Netherlands.

Every year, in the third week of June, a team of GWCT scientists travel to Sussex, to roam a large area of farmland stretching 11 miles across the South Downs. They are collecting data for the Sussex study, a long-running project that is one of the cornerstones of the GWCT’s research. It all began in 1968 and has provided a wealth of important data on the impact of farming methods, policy and conservation techniques.

Eleven partners from the Interreg North Sea Region (NSR) PARTRIDGE project, led by the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, met in Germany between June 27 and 29 for their third meeting.

Tim Furbank encourages farms and estates to do more when it comes to boosting diversity on their shoots.
