We've just started our experiment with Natural England to look at the effects of grazing the woodland adjacent to uncllys with pigs.The objective is to reduce the amount of bracken and bramble and to see whether after the pigs have turned the ground over there will be a more diverse woodland flora.
In October we will be running a training course with Natural England to look at the Management of Pigs in Woodland as part of the national Grazing Animals Project.
The pigs will be there until the end of November when they should have fattened up nicely on acorns ready for Christmas. Our piggy banks!
