Welcome to the SAC Conservation Society (Auchincruive)

SAC (Scottish Agricultural College) is an innovative, knowledge-based organisation, supporting the development of land-based industries and communities.

The aim of this blog is to highlight some of the projects that the Conservation Society are involved with.

We hope that this blog will be of interest to both SAC students/staff and members of the public and may inspire you to go out and become involved with conservation projects in your local community. (See the links for ideas)

Week 1 - Intro

The first meeting of the Conservation Society was held on 8th October 2008 led by SAC staff members Sally Gray and Ian Cornforth.

The aim of the Society is to give SAC students a chance to widen their skills, get outdoors and generally have some fun!

In our first meeting we identified animal and bird skulls which Sally had brought along (Honestly? We tried a bit but really we stood about being impressed by Jamie reeling them off) and listed which activities were available to us before designating them to the weeks as can be seen on the left hand side of this blog.

The whole of Week 10 is set aside for Kelburn Estate so that members can see through a large project from the beginning to the end, last year's visit worked on a building a new set of stairs.

All current SAC students are most welcome to join us, for further information leave a comment, or contact Sally Gray.
