Climate Positive Farming – Taster Day at Glensaugh

As part of Climate Week North East, join the team behind the Climate-Positive Farming Initiative at Glensaugh, for a farm walk and indoor displays to learn more about our research actions to address the climate and biodiversity crises, with transformative farming and technological innovations.

As you walk with our team up the glen, over the moor and through the fields, you can find out all the muddy details about restoring our peatlands, adding new herbs into our grasslands, integrating trees and wildlife on the farm, natural flood management, managing farmland for beneficial insects and much more. The guided farm walk is followed by an indoor display with coffee and tea, during which the Hutton team will discuss specific projects and answer your questions.

Each walk will take about 90 minutes, covering 3k in distance, and there will be some steep inclines on the trail, so be sure to bring your hiking boots. The farm walk is family friendly, however the route is not accessible for wheeled transport users – such as pushchairs, wheelchairs, motorised scooters.

This event will consist of 4 different tours of Glensaugh farm at the available time slots:

• 21st March at 10:00AM
• 21st March at 2:00PM
• 22nd March at 10:00AM
• 22nd March at 2:00PM
