About Short Course: Skill Up for Nature: Roots and Wings
Ever wondered how to find out more about nature on your doorstep, learn more about habitats, and develop practical know-how? Worried about climate change and other human impacts on our environment and want to find out how you can make a difference?
This training programme is designed to offer participants an opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners involved in different aspects of land use in Renfrewshire. Close to the urban sprawl of Greater Glasgow, the Clyde Muirshiel region and the coast of the Clyde offer opportunities to actively take part in land restoration and to connect to nature.
The programme is hands-on: Participants will be introduced to identifying and planting trees, to breeding bird survey techniques, and nature photography. Whether you’re just curious or are considering a career in land restoration, it is an invitation to explore it as part of a group, engage with the land practically, visually and creatively, and reflect on and contribute to ideas for positive change.
Programme details:
The programme will be hosted by the Centre for Human Ecology and delivered with contributions from Peter Livingstone (Eadha Enterprises), Liz Parsons and Alan Wood (Starling Learning) and Becky Duncan (OpenAye). It consists of three in-person field days and five online evening learning sessions, and runs from 22nd April – 20th May.
