Darwin Lecture
Dr Simon Jeffery of Harper Adams University gives a Darwin Lecture at Shrewsbury School.
The lecture focused on soil ecology, soil health and better ways of protecting this vital resource. It also related to work on the farm at Soulton, which has fed into public policy work for the UK government and has been visited by the Secretaty of State.
Charles Darwin was born in Shropshire, attended Shrewsbury School, and collected some of his first fosils in sight of our farm here.
The lecture is calandered here.
