About the event

Spend a couple of hours with our Wilder Grazing Ranger, meeting some of Heather Corrie Vale's resident cattle up close.

On this safari you'll learn all about the characteristics of different breeds of cattle and the roles they play managing the reserve for the benefit of wildlife. The Wilder Grazing Rangers know these animals the best, and they'll show you how to read reaction and body language cues. This will increase your confidence and understanding about how to behave around cattle, how much space to give, and when the best idea is to choose a different path if you ever come across a free roaming herd when you are out in the countryside.

This safari will last approximately 2 hours and most of the time will be spent walking or standing. Much of the route follows surfaced paths, but these can be muddy. Ensure you wear sturdy footwear (during periods of wet weather waterproof footwear is advisable) and clothing suitable for the weather conditions.

Please note there are no toilet facilities at the reserve, and no refreshments are available to purchase on site. You are welcome to bring your own food and drink with you, a bottle of water is recommended.

This safari is aimed at an adult audience, 14–17 year olds may attend with an accompanying adult over 18. Hoping to bring the children? Family Wildlife Watch Safaris are available during school holidays, see /safaris for availability.
