Description Wood pasture is a traditional farming method that leads to ecosystems rich in wildlife. We are managing an edge of Wharncliffe Heath as wood pasture, but we need to reduce the amount of bracken. So come along and celebrate the start of British Summer Time with a bit of fresh air and exercise. Hand tools and training will be provided, but please bring some refreshment, wear tough warm clothes, and a good strong pair of boots.
