Crofting and Grazing - Using NoFence Collar Technology

As part of the Corncrake Calling project, crofter Domhnall Macsween has been working with RSPB Scotland to trial NoFence collar technology for conservation grazing at the Loch Stiapabhat reserve.

This visit will begin with a presentation of the learning so far from Domhnall and Shona with an opportunity for discussion over a late lunch. This will be followed by an on croft demonstration of the NoFence collar technology in action. More about this trial and RSPB Scotland’s “Corncrake Initiative” scheme can be found here.

Lunch, tea and coffee will be provided.

This croft visit is open to crofters, farmers and new entrants living in Scotland, particularly those crofting and those working the land at small-scale.

This is a part of the partnership project 'Agroecology: Facilitating Mindset Change' funded through the Scottish Government's Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund and delivered collaboratively by the Landworkers’ Alliance, Soil Association Scotland, Food and Farming Countryside Commission , Pasture Fed Livestock Association and the Nature Friendly Farming Network. Between January and March 2022 15 online and in-person free events will be hosted designed to appeal to a wide range of farmers and crofters. Full details of these events here.

Corncrake Calling is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players.
