Senior livestock officer Thomas Baker chats to podcast host Sophie Baker (no relation!) about the amazing work of the livestock, and the volunteers that look after them, in the latest episode of In Conservation

The new episode of In Conservation features the lawnmowers! Whether its cows, sheep or even pigs, the Trust has a whole host of animals that are deployed to take care of our grasslands and make them the best they can be for the wildlife that thrives there. Senior livestock officer Thomas gives us the lowdown on what they do for wildlife, just what it takes to look after them, and a glimpse into the future plans for this area of work in our three counties. Mouflon, anyone?
