A welcome change of scenery yesterday for Placement Officers Louisa and Tracy, who attended an exclusive event hosted by The Webinar Vet at Brockholes, part of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust.
Over a delicious lunch, they enjoyed the opportunity to network with fellow veterinary professionals and members of The Webinar Vet team. The afternoon began with an inspiring presentation from The Webinar Vet's founder, Anthony Chadwick, who spoke about the organisation's commitment to sustainability and its support of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, including helping to fund the rewilding of 40 hectares of pastureland.
Attendees also heard from Lorna of Brockholes, who explained how the reserve is managed and outlined exciting future developments. The site's herd of English Longhorn cattle play a vital role as natural "lawnmowers", and they will soon be joined by an innovative robotic mowing machine to help maintain the reserve.
The day concluded with a guided tour of the reserve, followed by a hands-on conservation activity where participants helped replant a variety of wildflowers and native plants.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable day spent in beautiful surroundings, excellent company, and glorious sunshine, while learning more about sustainability and local wildlife conservation.
