Sheepwatch Site Visit Thurs 3rd Nov @ 2pm

We going to have a site visit to look at the sort of things we need to keep an eye on, like the fences, gates and any problems the sheep may have.  It also gives everyone a chance to meet myself and the grazier and the other sheepwatchers.
We are meeting in the car park at Browns Folly on Thursday 3rd November @ 2pm.
Look forward to seeing you there!

Welcome to Browns Folly Sheepwatch


Avon Wildlife Trust needs your help!
We hope to introduce sheep to Browns Folly Nature Reserve this winter to graze the grassland area and keep the spectacular views across Bath open, and allow the rare plants and insects to thrive in the area that all help to support the amazing bat and bird populations in the Nature Reserve. 
A local farmer is going to put a small number of rare breed Wiltshire Horn sheep into the small fenced area, hopefully until Spring to graze the site.  If you live locally or visit Browns Folly regularly we are looking for people who enjoy and love the site to join us and help become a team of ‘Sheepwatchers’ to keep the sheep safe.
