Sparsholt College is widely acknowledged as the home of traditional keeper training and our wildlife and countryside managers are also building a great reputation for their knowledge and expertise of habitat and rural resources management. In doing so, they all make use of:

• College Home Farm, with its incorporated wildlife zones under the Countryside Stewardship scheme, and other developing habitat areas.
• A wildlife observation unit with flight pond, constructed walkway and ancient woodland area.
• Fishing lake, attractive to wildlife and wetland species.
• Deer park with its resident herd of Sika deer.
• Game rearing unit for pheasant and partridge.
• 25-metre indoor rifle range, the field clay shoot and secure gun armoury.
• College-run local shoot and experience on other local shoot days.
• Great links with the industry across the whole country and abroad.
• An OfSTED ‘Outstanding’ grade and Centre of Vocational Excellence award.
