The theme for this session is ‘Lake District Common Land, Cultural Landscape, Flora & Wildlife’. The session will take place at Brown Howe near Torver, Coniston on Wednesday 10 August 2016.
Leaders Landscape Training Sessions are aimed at outdoor practitioners to help deepen understanding of the variety and importance of Cumbria’s upland ecology and to have a clearer understanding of some of the issues and pressures of outdoor users on our landscape, wildlife and habitats.
Looking at your ‘office space’ with a heightened awareness and understanding will inspire you to think and work differently, to enjoy, protect and respect our beautiful but surprisingly fragile upland landscapes and to pass on your new-found knowledge to those with whom you work.
To book on any of the free sessions, email ruth-kirk@fld.org.uk or telephone 01539 720788.
All sessions are booked on a first come first served basis.
Please bring: a picnic lunch & clothing/footwear for all weathers. (Please note there is no indoor backup venue so the sessions will go ahead in poor weather unless unreasonable or unsafe to do so).
Leaders Landscape Training Sessions are accredited by the Mountain Training Association and are recognised as Continuous Professional Development for members.
