An 'Estate' of Mind!

Rural development is a policy led process that helps to shape the future sustainability of our countryside, and Moulton based Higher Education students studying agriculture and land management have been assisting in the process by working with a number of high profile local country estates. Building on links with Lamport Hall, Kelmarsh Hall Operations Manager Des Brack has recently been helping to co-ordinate some student assessment work where students have pitched researched estate diversification ideas for him to feedback to Trustees. Most recently, the BSc Land Management group will team up with estate manager Mark Henderson at Castle Ashby Estates to tackle some similar problem solving activities. This innovative approach to assessing students means they are able to link theoretical subjects to applied outcomes, and directly links their course to the ‘real-world’.
