Cows return to Elvetham Heath

We're really excited to welcome Highland cattle and their calves back to Elvetham Heath to continue conservation grazing. The map shows the zones in which they will be grazing. Initially, the cattle will be grazing in zone 1 and will only move to zone 2 when needed. 

Please adhere to the signage on site and ensure:

  • all gates are closed
  • dogs are kept under close control
  • dog waste and litter are put in the bin
  • cattle are not fed or touched
