Fidelity Weston from Romshed Farm will be joined by ecologist, Francis Agate, and local landowner, Duncan Simpson, to show how cattle have been used to graze the riverside meadows to increase biodiversity in this special part of the valley outside Plaxtol. This is a free event but please book.
With expert guidance from Fidelity, Frances and Duncan, discover the plants, insects and other wildlife that have been encouraged as a result of the grazing management regime. This event is a must for anyone interested in regenerative farming and the regeneration of lost wildflower rich meadows.
Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
