Blue Remembered Hills
Grazing Animals
Many of the Shropshire Hills finest wildlife habitats have developed over hundreds of years, as man and his animals have shaped the landscape. Many areas of moorland, grassland, heathland and marsh are only present today because of grazing by sheep, ponies and cattle.
Recent changes in agriculture mean that these habitats are now being lost as areas are left ungrazed. The project provides a ‘Flying Flock’ of animals (sheep and cattle) which can be moved around to provide grazing to these areas. Advice and support is also available to anyone not used to caring for animals on their land.
