In this episode of ScotLand Matters, Scottish Land & Estates’ Digital Communications Officer Calum Henderson speaks with Ross Macleod of The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) about the Trust's demonstration farm at Auchnerran. Expanding upon 'Focus on the future of farming,' an article in the Autumn 2021 edition of LandBusiness Magazine (available online now), this episode covers a number of bases, from the purpose of the farm, and how it came to be, to the local wildlife in the area. The episode also covers questions around carbon audits and natural capital assessments, providing an introduction to those who may not be familiar with the terms or what these entail in a practical sense.
