It has also provided me with practical training and the opportunity to obtain C&amp;G qualifications in the use of essential machinery, such as chainsaws, brush-cutters and ATVs.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve really enjoyed making new friends and sharing their enthusiasm for conservation, as well as learning new skills and concepts and being able to apply these in the field. Whenever I visit a new place, the first question I now ask myself is why it looks the way it does, and how it would change if it wasn\u2019t managed! I also enjoyed the location of Sparsholt which allows students to experience some of the habitats they study within the College estate and take advantage of this by going for walks in free time.<\/p>\n<p>For me, the highlight of the course was the final year trip to the Cairngorms National Park which allowed us to experience montane habitat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sparsholt.ac.uk\/courses\/game-and-wildlife-management-level-3-extended-diploma-and-level-3-diploma\/\">Find out more about Level 3\u00a0Conservation and Wildlife Management<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Craig Welsby &#8211;
