Cows have been re-introduced to a wildlife site in Shropshire to help control the growth of trees there.

But in their absence, trees have been taking over, resulting in the loss of some rare plant species from the site.

Quote MessageI am hopeful that the introduction of cows to the site will enable the rare plant species to flourish and allow us to maintain the status of an internationally important site of special scientific interest.”
