‘Cirencester Park Estate’

A visit is being planned for the BBBF & Plumpton ‘Old Boys’ with Lord Bathurst at his wonderful Park and Farmland Estate. Subject to prevailing conditions, we may also visit the Royal Agricultural University.

Subjects of interest for discussion:

• Agroecology, and the new methods of cultivation
• Future Farming, in the new Global Economy
• Actions in the light of shortages caused by the War in Ukraine
• Dealing with the outcome of Ash Dieback and other persistent blights
• Water pollution and runoff problems
• Interfacing a beautiful estate with the pressures of local residential estates
• Stewardship and the expanding population
