LITCHAM COMMON CATTLE GRIDS UPDATE

Ponies

The ponies have come through the winter in good condition, however, they are still sometimes being fed by people, and it must be stressed how important it is that this does not happen. If the ponies associate people with food then they could become a nuisance. Also, food that is too sweet or rich, including carrots, could cause severe health problems, so please resist the urge to give them any ‘treats’. Dartmoor ponies thrive on very low nutrient rough vegetation, which is why they were chosen to graze the common.

Cattle Grids Progress

Construction of the grids is scheduled to begin this month, but no firm start date has been given yet. Other work due to be carried out in the next few weeks is the erection of perimeter fencing around the unfenced part of the common, together with the installation of a cattle grid on the track that leads to Kempstone.

Higher Level Stewardship Scheme

The Management Committee has successfully applied for grant funding from Natural England under the Higher Level Stewardship Scheme, which is great news as it guarantees a regular source of income for the next ten years, to enable environmental management work to be carried out. Having lost our funding from Norfolk County Council last year as part of the cutbacks, it is reassuring to have a degree of financial security. We are very grateful to the Norfolk Wildlife Trust for its help in applying for the funding

NEXT TASK

The next conservation task on the common will take place on Saturday 12th MAY, meeting in the car park at 10.00 am. Please call me on 01328 700045 if you are interested in joining us and would like more information.
