Amazing Graze

On Your Farm

Available for over a year

Ruth Sanderson meets Stephen Comber, who co-ordinates and cares for a complex army of hardy livestock which graze the wild places of Northumberland. They do this to maintain areas of land for conservation purposes. Stephen matchmakes small flocks and herds with the landscapes they are brought in to manage, through a system of 'flexi-grazing'. Ruth finds out why grazing is important for wildlife conservation on nature reserves and in sensitive habitats, and meets some of Stephen's "moveable fleet of living lawn mowers." Produced and presented by Ruth Sanderson
