Correct sward length is vital and that is normally achieved by grazing with livestock at certain times of the year. Predator management is also vital, (control of corvids during breeding season). You're doing a lot of good Steve, keep it up.

So much good will and hard-worked for understanding is lost through staff turn over it can sometimes positively hurt. WT are in this for the (very) long-run, thank you all who are fighting the good fight and may you also be in this for the long run.
