Planning for Change: Livestock IPM with Dr Claire Whittle
Wednesday 20 August, 10.30am–2.30pm
Guardswell Farm, Perthshire
Join us at Guardswell Farm, Perthshire, with hosts Digby and Anna Lamotte for an engaging and practical workshop exploring what a Whole Farm approach to regenerative disease and pest management really looks like in practice. This session will focus on integrating animal health and welfare planning within a regenerative farming system.
We’re delighted to welcome Dr Claire Whittle – farmer, veterinary surgeon, and leading advocate for regenerative agriculture. Claire specialises in applying principles of ecosystem health on farms and will share insights on how regenerative practices can improve livestock resilience, reduce disease pressures, and enhance overall farm sustainability.
Through interactive discussion and practical examples, you’ll gain tools and strategies for building healthier systems from the soil up. This is an unmissable opportunity for farmers, land managers, and anyone interested in the future of sustainable livestock management.
Hot lunch included.
FREE and open to farmers, crofters, growers and land managers. Booking required.
