Conservation Grazing - the right animal in the right place at the right density.
The Rare Breeds Survival Trust promotes the use of rare and
native breeds for conservation grazing. Increasingly used in the countryside
sector conservation grazing uses livestock to restore or maintain rare
habitats. Some conservation organisations own and manage their own flocks and
herds for the sole purpose of grazing, some work in partnership with graziers
who provide livestock. Ruth Dalton from RBST talks about the benefits of using
different animals and how many sites can benefit from this type of management.
