2020

The students of GWCT 2019/20 have stepped up across the organisation to ensure business can run as smoothly as possible. Now dotted around the country, we are still working hard as ever to keep projects running, and some have even stayed onsite to ensure vital work can continue.

Last week, when the BBC Radio 4 show Short Cuts claimed that there were just 100 grey partridges left in the UK, we responded straight away.

While we welcome the BBC highlighting the decline of grey partridge in Britain sadly the reporters have their numbers all wrong.

GWCT Scotland is helping to run the PARTRIDGE project, part funded by the EU’s North Sea Region Interreg programme. This has ten demonstration farms across Scotland, England, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, and in Scotland it is organised by Fiona Torrance.
