LEAF Education Residential - our social media roundup

A two-day residential event run by LEAF Education saw 70 students and teachers from schools across England welcomed to Harper Adams University last week.

During the residential event, the young people took part in a series of activities, practical workshops and more, with LEAF’s Honorary President, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Edinburgh, visiting for the first day of the residential.

The residential was the culmination of LEAF’s Teenager Research project, run alongside McDonalds UK and Ireland and the School of Sustainable Food and Farming at Harper Adams.

See our social media roundup of a packed two days below.

We had the best weather for sheep herding and learning about animal welfare; rounding them up, handling them safely, keeping them calm and checking their teeth. New experiences were had by all! #nechells #sheepherding #animalwelfare @HarperAdamsUni @LEAF_education @educationEACT pic.twitter.com/aO48CFUMh6
