Goats & Cows Boost Northumberland Biodiversity

Northumberland Wildlife Trust has produced two short films to highlight their ongoing biodiversity boost project. One film focuses on the West Chevington reserve, showcasing how grazing goats are helping to improve the landscape for rare flowers like lesser butterfly orchids on a former open-cast mine site.

The second film delves into the history of grazing in the Druridge Bay area. It also details other conservation efforts, including the use of Highland cows to cultivate a wildflower meadow at the Hauxley nature reserve. These films were made in collaboration with Collingwood Arts and Media College.
