One of the advantages of land not being farmed is that common plants are allowed to mature and flower with no threat of livestock coming along to demolish them. Last year the grasses around these trees were eaten by SWT's cows early on. This year with the cattle still impounded elsewhere awaiting their vaccines the grasses look delightful.




Anyone who has watched cattle eating will know just how quickly they deal with grass. Deer eat grass too of course but not to the same manic and industrial extent.
