FWAG South West Kingfisher Award Scheme

We’re really pleased to be supporting this year’s FWAG South West Kingfisher Award Scheme, as part of our Outdoor Learning programme.

    The Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group SouthWest

This year, children from 8 different primary schools are learning about ‘Life on the Hedge’ and take part in a field trip to a farm at Newton St Cyres near Crediton, to learn all about Devon hedges and the wildlife that can be found in and around them.   The weather has been truly kind this year and it was a glorious day today.  Prizes will be awarded at the prize giving picnic, held in July.
