Thank you and goodbye from the sheep!

A big thank you to everyone for all your help over the winter, and please pass on our thanks to anyone you know who has been keeping an eye on the sheep.

The sheep have now left the site and have returned home for the summer to let the plants and flowers grow.  Its the first time Browns Folly has been successfully grazed in years so we are really pleased with how things have gone.  Six more sheep are returning in September, I hope you can continue to help us with the project in the future, and once again thank you for all your help.

Sheep on there way home!

Spring finally emerges on the slopes and the sheep are getting ready to return home after there winter retreat at Brown's Folly.  In the next few weeks the sheep will move into the holding pen and be taken off.
 The sheep are basking in the warm weather and spring plants are starting to emerge in the sunshine.
The flowers and plants will be growing soon and need the spring and summer to bloom and re-set seed, so the sheep will come off for the summer and return again in the autumn.
A big thank you to all our sheep watchers for your hardwork, we'll keep you posted on when they finally depart the slopes.
