More cattle are being moved to Chasewater Country Park to help protect the heathland habitat.
The animals will graze the land to cut down on the manual removal of tree shoots and scrub, as well as encouraging the growth of wildflowers.
To extend this good work, six extra animals are being introduced to the site this summer, joining the existing herd of three.
Councillor Ian Pritchard said: “Our countryside team has been working hard to bring back grazing to Chasewater Country Park, and after successfully introducing cattle to the park some years ago, we’re all delighted that wildflowers are now thriving, and welcome the new herd of cattle to the country park.”
Four of the cattle will get to work this August on Anglesely Basin, and two more will join the existing herd of three that are grazing on Chasewater’s North Shore.
“Although the cattle are friendly, we are asking all visitors to Chasewater not to approach them and to keep their dogs under control at all times,” added Cllr Pritchard.
