This winter we are holding a series of evening talks with a general theme of the links between farming and nature. Held at The Moorcock in Eggleston, the hour-long talks will be followed by a half hour discussion.

‘What we didn’t know’, led by Nic Renison, is the third talk in the series on 29 November and will be followed by the presentation of the High Nature Value Farming Awards. Please arrive from 7.15pm ahead of the talk starting at 7.30pm.

Nic Renison will talk about her farming journey, from dairy farming, working within the industry, moving to an upland sheep and beef farm in the Pennines in 2012. Realising the conventional system wasn’t going to pay the mortgage, big changes have happened over the last 10 years at the farm Cannerheugh, both between the ears and in the field.

High Nature Value Farming Awards ceremony, 9-10pm. At this last talk of the series, we will be presenting the High Nature Value Farming Awards to the winners.

Everyone welcome, booking required. If you are a Tees-Swale farmer you can come to this talk for free, please email Ruth Keddle-Starr or Patrick Oulton to get the code.

 

 

Delivered as part of the Tees-Swale: Naturally Connected programme. Tees-Swale is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and led by the North Pennines National Landscape team in collaboration with the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
