Cattle back onto site this Wednesday 28th October

Hello everyone,

As promised I can now confirm that the cattle will be re-introduced this Wednesday on Caesars Camp. The time and number is still unconfirmed but it will probably be 5 cows, around midday. As soon as I know they are on I will email you all the exact details of what has been put back onto the site.

Therefore could I ask you to re-start your lookering duties as of this time. To help us with the close monitoring of the initial herd we would really appreciate it if you contacted us (by phone/text/email or blog) once you had done your lookering and let us know what you found or did not find and whereabouts you looked. This will help us keep an extra keen eye on their movements should anything else happen.

Just a quick re-cap on the grazing project team as it has changed a little bit recently:

Alex Cruickshank - Grazing Project Manager - 07789 096 330
Elliott Fairs - Grazing Project Officer - 07833 387319
Rachel Remnant - 07786 678604
(NEW!) Mike Morton - Assistant Grazing Project Officer - 07770 918372

Should you have any problems please call one of these numbers and please leave a message. Somebody is always on call over the weekend and although it may not be the person who you ring and leave a message with, that person will definitely forward the message immediately to the person who is on call, so that action can be taken to rectify the problem.

Having spoken to a number of you since the cattle have been off site I gather the level of motorbike activity has since increased so may I remind you that it is illegal for unauthorised motorbikes to be using the site and the only way we can resolve this problem is by reporting it to the Military Police on 02392 722707. Only by reporting it will sufficient resources be allocated to the Aldershot section of the Military Police to deal with the problem. This is exactly what we did last time and we made real headway with the problem so much so that we went for over a month without the fence being cut which is what we aim for again this time. However we can only do this with your help so please feel free to pass these details onto other site users who you may know who are not one of our official 'lookers'.

Once again, thank you all for your patience and understanding in what has been a particularly stressful and upsetting time with the lead situation. We hope that this situation is now behind us and we can get back to making the site better for wildlife and putting the missing piece of the jigsaw (the cows) back onto the site. We can only do this with all of your co-operation and help so a huge thank you in advance and I look forward to seeing you out on site again and hearing your lookering stories.

Elliott
