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 2 - Tree Seed Collection
Location: Auchincruive Estate
Acivity: Tree Seed Collection & Planting

The first real project for this year's Conservation Society (with help from some horticulture students) was the gathering of various tree seeds from around the Auchincruive Estate.
