Cuckoo Tors is an important site for the University of Derby’s research into regenerative management.
There is currently a lot of interest in managing land in a more sustainable way, and terms such as ‘rewilding’ are now widely used. Here at the University of Derby, we want to understand how managing areas of land in different ways can affect things like the carbon held in the soil, the way water flows across the surface, and the biodiversity of flora and fauna.
We believe it’s important to involve the local community, visitors, and students in what we’re doing at our research sites. This website will allow us to keep everyone updated on our progress at Cuckoo Tors. You can expect blog posts about our research at the site, updates on how the area is changing, and opportunities for everyone to get involved!
