All Reaseheath\u2019s students gained placements against strong competition from applicants from colleges nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Bailey-Rimmer, 17, from Manchester, Alice Hardwell, 16, from Wrexham and Floris Stoter, 28, from Liverpool, are going to <strong>Sk\u00e1lanes Nature Reserve in East Iceland<\/strong>, where they will help to create a centre for Icelandic environment and cultural history. The centre will also be a model for sustainable tourism.<\/p>\n<p>Alice Martin, 16, from Aberystwyth, and\u00a0 Jasmine\u00a0 Salmon, 18, from Ellesmere Port, \u00a0are off to the <strong>Czech Republic<\/strong> to study organic horticulture and permaculture systems. They will be based at Apple Farm, a sustainable small-holding 100 miles east of Prague which aims to teach sustainability, self-sufficiency and education.<\/p>\n<p>John Humphreys, 26, from Wirral, and Richard Laurence, 27, from Nantwich, will join Hylates Limited, an eco-tourism company which is developing environmentally friendly facilities for visitors in <strong>Cyprus<\/strong>. Cyprus has a very fragile natural environment which is under pressure from developers. During their placement the two students will try to find sustainable and local solutions which will maintain and improve biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>Rhys Donnell, 17, from Clwyd \u00a0will join preparations for the annual woodfest in the \u00a0<strong>D\u00fcbener Heide Naturpark, Germany<\/strong>, and will also carry out practical nature conservation including heathland and forest management, working at a village arboretum, making interpretation boards and joining school conservation projects.<\/p>\n<p>All students on the Level 3 Diploma have already completed one month\u2019s work experience this year with leading countryside bodies like the National Trust.<\/p>\n<p>Programme Leader for Countryside Siobhan Smyth said: \u201cThis experience will greatly enhance our students\u2019 CVs as they will be engaging with conservation industries across Europe and learning the skills which employers look for. They will also learn how other cultures operate, which is only something you can learn by experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard Laurence, 27, who hopes eventually to set up his own environmental business, said: \u201cThis is a brilliant placement where we will be using local materials and methods to aid public access to heritage sites. I\u2019m looking forward to it very much. It\u2019ll give me valuable experience and some real skills which I can use to take my career forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you would like to find out more about the\u00a0Level 3 Diploma in Conservation and Wildlife Management\u00a0as well as our other Countryside courses please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/subjects\/countryside\/\">visit the Countryside section on our website<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eight first year students from Reaseheath College\u2019s Countryside department are to join environmental projects abroad as part of their summer training.
