Claire Whittle the Regenerative Vet: Understanding Farms as Ecosystems

South West Scotland Regenerative Farming Network is delighted to be hosting this talk with Claire Whittle, the Regenerative Vet

Claire is a Farm Veterinary Surgeon who splits her time between working in clinical practice at LLM Farm Vets and her own business, The Regenerative Vet, which offers consultancy to farmers and landowners transitioning towards agroecological practices.

Completing a Postgraduate Certificate in Conservation Medicine consolidated her interest in understanding farms as ecosystems and the value of natural capital for animal health.

Claire is the Veterinary lead for the 'Dung Beetles for Farmers' team which aims to improve the conservation status of dung beetles throughout the UK by offering pragmatic advice to land and livestock managers. She was awarded a Nuffield Scholarship to study the benefits of regenerative agriculture on livestock health and welfare which is due to be completed this year.

Join us to be hear and learn more about Claire's work and be inspired! There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions.

Kindly hosted by the University of Glasgow's School of Environment and Sustainability, this event is being offered free of charge to anyone with an interest: Farmers, Veterinary Surgeons and Nurses, trainee Vets, academics and farm advisors.

Hot drinks and light snacks will be provided.

Earlier in the day, Claire will be joining a Farm Walk to Trostrie Farm, Twynholm for a dung beetle safari. The Farm Walk is sold out. For more info on the Farm Walk please click here.
