Have you recently started working with a new piece of land? Or perhaps you've been on the same holding for many years but would like to integrate a new enterprise or simply find renewed inspiration. 

New Eyes for Land offers two parallel courses to build your observational skills and give you a holistic perspective of the land your working with, whether that's an allotment, a market garden or a farm.

The first course, Observation, develops your observational capacity which will serve you well in understanding your land. Observation exercises are designed to work alongside reading and recorded seminars. These present ideas in understanding nature, and how to think about nature in a more holistic way.

The second course, Farm Organism, takes students through the different elements of a holding (soil, plant, animal, both wild and cultivated) as well as looking at the unique location, the social and cultural activities and the sustainable elements of the holding.  By examining these different aspects of your land and layering these into an interrelated whole, you will gain a view of your holding with refreshed vision and new understanding.
