Cows on Freeman's Marsh
Grazing is vital to maintain the wild flora of Freeman's Marsh. Without grazing, the marsh would be dominated by coarse grasses, rushes and, eventually, trees! It is really difficult getting the balance of grazing right. This year the Trustees have put out fewer cattle on the marsh but it is possible that with the rainy weather the most special part of the site could be undergrazed.
