Danny Allen About Me

My name is Danny Allen im 17 years old and currently studying a national diploma in Countryside Management at Sparsholt agricultural college (Winchester) I will be working with the project for 3 weeks for my work experience. Im in my second year there and the course is going very well my favourite subjects are Livestock management, Deer Management and Archaeology. Having grown up in an urban area (Portsmouth) I was tempted into conservation and land management by a colleague where I work at Butser Ancient Farm. After applying to the college I was soon accepted to my delight. My interests include Shooting, Beating, Bushcraft, Gundog training and the general outdoors. At school I spent most of my time staring out of the window at a pigeon or some other outside attraction rather than getting on with work. Such is my pull to the outdoors than I volunteer often and enjoy it when I do so. Being at Sparsholt and volunteering for various organisations has given me an even more enhanced view of nature, now I can’t help myself identifying trees or flora when out for a walk with family much to their annoyance at times. Im looking forward to working with the project and hope I enjoy my time with the team!!! - Danny
