RAG Week is here! A great start to the week today with some Student Union led events around campus.

Askham Bryan College’s Horticulture department last week provided soil texture analysis for 14 samples from WW1 battlefields around Flanders to support a unique art installation that appeared in Ripon Cathedral in Autumn 2018. The analysis on behalf of former Askham Bryan College student and artist Dan Metcalfe will help to identify similar soil textures in the UK to help him create his next piece of work and take the installation to Passchendale to install it there. Horticulture Lecturer Sarah Owen-Hughes explains how the project came about and how projects like this and others are providing enrichment opportunities for students at Askham Bryan.
