Livestock Checker

Go Back to ResultsProject Summary
We’re creating a Yorkshire rich in wildlife for everyone and we’re getting a helping hand from some of our 4-legged friends! Sheep, cattle and Ponies graze areas of our land to help keep rough competitive species under control, leaving room for wildflowers and grasses which are important for a huge range of wildlife.

Project Description
Commitment - any day
We’ve welcomed a flocks of Hebridean sheep to North Newbald Becksies Nature Reserve, North Cliffe Wood Nature Reserve and Kilnsea Wetlands Nature Reserve.We’re looking for local people to help watch over our flock by visiting the site once a week or fortnight for roughly an hour. You won’t be needed to handle the sheep but use your keen observation skills to check all is well, count the sheep and report any injuries or illness to Yorkshire Wildlife Trust staff. No prior knowledge is required as full training is provided.
Livestock checks can be done at any time so are perfect if you have lots of other commitments to work around. You’ll pick a slot on our rota that suits you, all we ask is that you can definitely make it when you say you can.
