Dear All,
I hope that you are all well. The grazing project team braved the cold weather to fell some trees at the Tumuli yesterday afternoon. It was a really beautiful day with the snow on the trees and the Robbins following our every move, searching for food in the areas where we created any ground disturbance. The cows heard us coming and quickly gathered around the felling area nibbling at the brash that we were stacking. They all looked really well and developed a special interest when the mince pies and doughnuts came out!
We are clearing the Tumuli to help preserve these historic mounds and prevent tree roots growing through the soil which damages their structure. The work will continue intermittently until all of these area are clear.
Take care and have a lovely Christmas,
Many thanks
Lucy
