Grazing on the Edge: open screening in Aberdeen

Public event
5 December 2016, 2:30pm
James Hutton Institute, Craigiebuckler, Aberdeen AB15 8QH
for anyone interested in crofting and upland management

The contribution crofters and island farmers make to managing land of high nature value will be the focus of a short film and following panel discussion planned for 2.30 pm on Monday 5th December at the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen.

The event is free to attend and promises to be doubly interesting as the film explores themes of land management and documents the situation facing common grazings and graziers in the early part of this century. Additional entertainment includes a video giving a “sheedog's eye” view of a gathering, shot using a camera mounted on a dog's head.

The film has been made as part of the TRANSGRASS research project. It highlights the importance of upland land use for community, agricultural and environmental benefits.
