Make content about: Iain watches over grazing herds
After seeing cattle panic and get caught in fencing, Iain began volunteering to check on grazing herds in Kent.
This story
While walking his dog near a country park, Iain saw visitors disturb Highland cattle, causing a stampede that left one cow caught in fencing. Having recently moved nearby, he contacted Kent Wildlife Trust to become a volunteer livestock checker. Today, he tracks down four Highland cattle and six Konik ponies across the site, checking them for injuries, inspecting water troughs and monitoring the perimeter fences.
