A small herd of English Longhorn cows returned to Wanstead Park in October to graze over the winter months.

“The cows will have an important job to do grazing the main acid grassland to remove course vegetation and young scrub, as well as reducing the vegetation on the Yellow Meadow Ant hills, which improves the biodiversity of this special area of Epping Forest,” said a spokesperson for the City of London Corporation.
