Collaboration is the Way Forward for Student Success!

With long established partnerships with organisations such as the Forestry Commission, The Environment Agency, Lamport Hall and Kelmarsh Hall - working through partnerships is evidently a great way for students to learn about the industry.

With a more recent arrangement with the Ginpat Charitable Trust and Natural England giving students access to a precious parcel of ancient woodland in the Northamptonshire countryside, staff are now working hard to create new opportunities for students to work with other organisations in the region. For example, a recent working agreement has been approved with the countryside services team of Northamptonshire County Council to give students who have an interest in becoming country park rangers opportunities for work experience and project work. Further discussions are also taking place with Wickstead Park in Kettering, who have recently secured Heritage Lottery Funding to enable them to develop a more ecological focus for the site.

There has never been a better time to study countryside management to take advantage of these links - so whats stopping you? Get in touch now!
