At Hamatethy on the edge of Bodmin Moor in North Cornwall Yan Swiderski is rewilding 600 acres. The land is low stocked with a small, slow-growing, almost wild herd of Welsh Black cattle that eat only the abundant grass and forage here – 100% pasture fed, leading natural lives outside beyond thirty months old. Alongside these animals thrives a host of wildlife in the sky and the undergrowth. The presence and activity of the cattle here is helping to expand an existing breeding cuckoo range. White storks and voles are found here, barn owls and kestrels hunt small mammals in the long grass.
