There are many ways you can get involvedHelp to support our work with Devon's farmers - your donation could help us to match a grazier to suitable grazing land.
Grazing grassland
Rare, flower rich grasslands have developed over centuries of grazing. Grazing maintains the diversity of flower rich meadows and helps control and reduce scrub within reserves.
Devon Wildlife Trust has invested a great deal of effort and money to create good access, install fencing to protect livestock and provide water supplies.
Wherever possible partnerships are formed to enable local graziers to use DWT land. Rare breeds are the ideal livestock due to their ability to prosper on the typically rough grazing found on the reserves. These currently include White Park, Dexter and Red Devon cattle.
Where a local grazier cannot be found DWT has its own Exmoor ponies, a rare breed local to Devon and Somerset, ideally suited to some of our more challenging reserves.
