Conservation Grazing Support

Many of the projects dghconservation are involved with have now started using virtual fencing systems. The majority are with cows where controlled grazing is taking place in set compartments moving across a landscape that is being regenerated to improve the habitats using herbivores as the regenerator. 

This has involved setting out areas, creating grazing plans and risk assessments, monitoring the moving of livestock as well as the behaviour of individuals and the herd as a whole. 

Having been involved in studies of large scale grazing projects in Kenya I have started introducing some of the techniques and study methodologies to conservation grazing activities in the UK.

With agricultural and conservation grazing qualifications and experience, I have specialised in matching ecological requirements, resource availability and environmental conditions to maximise the benefits to habitats and landscape regeneration. This also includes the use of data to monitor or determine changes in behaviour of individual animals and herd structures.
