Every year, the Department of Geography organises fieldtrips to allow students to develop their data collection skills and environmental knowledge. In Autumn 2021, travel restrictions and safety concerns meant that taking the students abroad wasn’t a feasible option.
Rather than cancel the trips or undertake online alternatives, the department remained committed to providing the students with the important experience of learning in the field. So instead, they organised trips closer to home, taking their undergraduate students to York and Malham.
