New Fencing For Cattle At Manor Park
July 5, 2021
Electric Fencing is being installed at Manor Park this week as part of the ongoing management of the cattle in the two back paddocks.
The Limousin-cross cattle have settled well into their new home and will be grazing the back paddocks until October. The paddock the cattle were grazing in last summer behind the lake is now back open to the public.
Manor Park is maintained in line with a Natural England Stewardship Scheme which provides funding towards the maintenance of the park, and requires grassland in the paddocks to be managed and improved. Cattle are the recommended way to manage wetland, and cattle grazing helps maintain the structure and composition of wildlife habitats which many plants and animals depend on for their survival.
