Join us for a fascinating look at the results from 3 years of non chemical bracken management trials.
For the last three years, farmers in Scotland and England have been trialling non-chemical bracken management methods on farm. These trials have explored practical alternatives to chemical spraying, including machinery and livestock grazing, supported by researchers and land managers.
In this session, we will explore the findings and learnings so far, and discuss plans for the continuing trials through the new learning network. We will hear from trial researcher Robin Pakemen of the James Hutton Institute, alongside farmers that have been involved in the trials.
