Conor O'Gorman Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 BASC has contributed £15,000 of sponsorship from its Legacy Fund this year to ‘Estates that Educate’, the award-winning initiative run by Scotland’s Regional Moorland Groups. The donation has helped ensure another year of exceptional success in educating and inspiring young people from across the Angus, Grampian and Tayside regions of Scotland. The series of events included activities such as the identification of Scottish wildlife and plants, which links to the science experiences and outcomes on biodiversity and connects children to Scotland’s natural heritage, and sustainable food workshops which allow children to learn more about where their food comes from, and how eating local, sustainable produce reduces food miles and benefits their carbon footprint. In addition to the Estates That Educate events attended by more than 2,000 pupils, a further 500 children have visited the BASC Scotland stands at The Angus Show and the Royal Highland Show, where the collaborative partnership between BASC and Estates That Educate has continued to educate and inspire. The highlight of the partnership will take place at this year’s Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace on Sunday 7 July, where last year’s Young Ambassador – Hayley MacDonald – will pass on the baton to 13-year-old Campbell Waddell. Hayley has had a great year building her knowledge and skills, strengthening her pathway towards a career as a shepherdess, while at the same time assisting at local events. Meanwhile young Campbell, who has participated in the programme since primary school, has been enthusiastically promoting it.
