11/12/2014 - Study visit to the Cusachs Foresty site

Study visit to the Cusachs Foresty site

On 11th December the first year, medium level forestry students visited the Cusachs Foresty business. It was a rewarding, full day in which we saw a great deal of the machinery used in this field. Cusachs is a family-run company that has been in operation for many years. It was also a great chance for our students to see first-hand how a forestry-orientated business is run. We learnt a great deal about the practical side of the company's operations and Sergi gave us an excellent visit in which we learnt many things. Many thanks.

Just after the start of the new course the first year, medium level gardening students travelled to the Cote d'Azur in France for a study trip. It was the perfect way for new recruits to get to know each other, learn how to observe and analyse vegetation and gain a knowledge of the field they are studying. The area is chosen for its large quantity of beautiful gardens and lovely landscape. The group was able to visit such delights as the ´Domaine du Rayol`, ´Villa Efhrussi`, the Japanese gardens of Monaco and “La Bambouseraie”. A splendid time was had by all.

His company has a wide selection of ground/soil moving machinery. It is an ideal place for our pupils to see and enables them to learn about the various methods involved in this type of process. They can also learn about the key stages of creating a garden. Mr Viladecans was kind enough to explain which type of machine is used for each practise, as well as details connected to planning, pricing and quote giving. Quintanes would like to thank him for such a good visit.

First year forestry course trip to Vall d 'Aran

As of late the first year forestry group has gone to the Vall d'Aran at the beginning of each course, and this year has been no exception. This time we were accompanied by Pau, the bus driver and Josep Uroz from Naturepolitan. These days together are a great way to get to know each other and start learning about the subject. The Vall d'Aran is ideal because it's beautiful, close to home and the visits we do are not far apart. During the trip we visited La Seu d'Urgell, Espot and Les Planes se Son. We also hiked in the lovely terrain and took in the nature all around us.

The tractor: maintenance, control, driving...

On 2nd and 3rd October we conducted a number of sessions of tractor maintenance and control with the medium level, first year farming students. A total of 20 students were able to participate, using 2 tractors; one a simple model, the other with double traction. It was a positive experience, especially for those who had never driven a tractor before. We're very thankful to an ex-student, Joan Rifà, for running the day and to the teachers who helped him.
