NY1313 : "Wild Ennerdale"

near to Ennerdale Fell [other features], Cumbria, Great Britain

"Wild Ennerdale"
"Wild Ennerdale"
These Scottish Galloway cattle have been introduced as part of the Forestry Commission’s “Wild Ennerdale” scheme, to promote the evolution of the valley as a ‘wild’ area. They are a hardy breed and are more effective than sheep in churning up the soil. This, it is said, may bring to the surface native seeds that have lain dormant for hundreds of years, thus facilitating a revival of the indigenous flora and fauna.
Of course, this won't be the first time that a band of Scots have made their way over the border to rough up the place a bit but, this time it's for a thoroughly good cause.
