PROPERTY DRONE

In July, around 160 hectares were flown over with a drone, to supplement the existing information on the Quintanes farm to improve management.
With the photos obtained, a 3D model will be generated using photogrammetry techniques to obtain some products such as an orthophoto and a digital model of the piece of land. This action has been carried out within the scope of the drafting of the new Technical Management and Forestry Improvement Plan for the Quintanes estate.

MAS TERRICABRAS

Last Tuesday, October 4, students from the 2nd year of Agricultural Production had the opportunity to visit Mas Terricabras, in Oristà. The Rovira Costa family is responsible for this agricultural and livestock holding. It has different activities such as pig production, a herd of grazing cows, and fattening calves. They have different crops like cereal crops for grain, fodder crops intended to feed the herd, unique crops such as chickpeas with Denomination of Origin, and crops of varieties with differential qualities such as Xeixa and Forment wheat.

Mas Terricabras is also an innovative company that uses renewable energies, such as the biomass produced on the farm to heat the farm and photovoltaic solar panels that produce electricity. Mas Terricabras opens its doors to the public, welcomes visitors, and participates in the farmer's welcome days: Many things to see, learn and experience! From the Quintanes center, we are grateful to the Rovira Costa de Mas Terricabras family, for their kindness and for letting our students make this fascinating visit.

It ensures that children and adults must have access to quality first aid education, a lifelong commitment to learning, and providing first aid that makes a more resilient society.

As a center, we provide our students with this vital knowledge. Every year at the beginning of the course, the Red Cross visits our center to provide this training to all our first-year students.

Gardening Study Trip.

Al principio del grado nos gusta realizar un viaje para introducir a los alumnos de primero de Grado Medio en el mundo de la Jardinería, por eso fuimos de viaje al País Valenciano, donde se programaron visitas a diferentes espacios para que puedan observar diferentes zonas verdes de tipologías variadas.

El objetivo de este viaje era ver los diferentes espacios verdes que puede haber y que puede acabar trabajando el alumno, ya que vimos jardines privados, parques públicos, jardines históricos y botánicos y finalmente un parque natural.
