In spring 2008 PLACE ran a 6-week short course on Gardening for Wildlife in a Changing Climate.
The course was led by Barbara Hickman and Margaret Atherden. Topics included:

• The challenge of climate change in the 21st century
• Planning and managing your garden
• Practical measures to encourage and support wildlife in the garden
• Sustainable living in the garden
• Institutional gardening: York St John University's campus.

There will be a fieldtrip to follow the course to Brunswick organic nursery, on the afternoon of Thursday 17th April. If anyone would like to join us for this visit, please contact the PLACE Office: tel. 01904 766291. E-mail: place@yorksj.ac.uk
