So pleased to collaborate with Abi Mansley of the NorthumberlandNational Park Authority. For a few years now she has worked with a number of our students on projects looking at cattle movement, sitka spruce invasion, vegetation change, bog restoration providing first class guidance and supervision for them.

They also offer student volunteer placements in the Park, particularly with the wonderful, inspiring naturalist Shaun Hackett who has offered fungi, pollinator and oooh – lichen placements.
