Weekend Courses & Events in the Cotswolds
Wildlife tracking goes worldwide at Farncombe Estate
A group of Broadway companies have launched a new online nature diary to capture information and photographs of some of the wildlife found on the privately owned Farncombe Estate.
The Estate covers over 300 acres of Cotswold AONB parkland and is situated on the escarpment overlooking Willersey, Broadway and Evesham Vale. The grounds take in countryside from both Worcestershire and Gloucestershire and sections of The Cotswold Way.
Several companies are based on the Estate, including business training venue Cotswold Conference Centre (CCC), Sorven Estates, G4S and leisure course provider Farncombe Estate ALC Ltd.
CCC is particularly known for its green training initiatives and the online diary was suggested by Estate employee Kerry Jones. Kerry is a keen member of CCC's ‘Green Team' and has worked on the Estate since 2003.
"As I spend much of my time out and about on the Estate I see so much of the wildlife and how our landscape changes through the seasons. Over the years, guests and delegates that visit often comment on how much they enjoy seeing badgers, foxes and deer, so I just thought it would be a good idea to start a diary for all of us to capture the flora and fauna and share the information through writing and pictures. Some delegates from Natural England were here on a conference last week and have helped get the diary started with their expert knowledge".
The online diary can be found at www.FarncombeEstate.co.uk/NatureDiary or www.CotswoldConferenceCentre.com/NatureDiary. Other photographs of the Estate can be found on Flickr www.Flickr.com/MeetCotswolds.
CCC has been recognised by the Green Business Tourism Scheme and received recognition for their environmental initiatives in the Sustainable tourism category at the Heart of England Excellence Awards 2009.
