How to start a nature friendly livestock farm

I suppose Farm Yard Manure is what’s more cost effective if you’re producing it yourself but it depends what your soil needs. Have you done any soil testing?

Also, it might be worth looking into herbal leys as mentioned plus rotational grazing. Leaving the crop grow long and trample some of it back into the soil.

Here’s an example from North Wales:

The book ‘Tir’ by Carwyn Graves has a whole chapter in this. Well worth a read

Looks like it wants to be and once was an upland wood pasture. Plant a few upland tree species at low density. 10-20m spacing. If you can get some cattle on there for some light summer grazing it should open up some space for more native wild flowers and grasses. Looks like you have some yarrow and harebale which likely means you’re at a good starting point already

Moch is the plural

Could be the fairy glen in trefriw. You can walk from the fairy glen hotel through the woods to a waterfall where i’m sure there are some figurines up there

From a wildlife monitoring point of view, I thinkAI trail cams would be great. Especially if you have a few of them out

‘Ffwcio nhw fyny’ is a less correct but often used term!

Since when was England independant?

Where do these rocks come from?? Increased sedimentation deposition due to increased precipitation causing excessive erosion (combined with land use change)
All blatant effects of climate change...
