Have you heard the moos?
A HERD of natural lawn mowers are visiting Horsenden Hill munching away the long grass and helping rare wild flowers to thri
e.
The council has introduced six English Longhorn cows to graze the medieval meadows in Perivale.
They are on loan from Harrow School and will stay until the end of next month.
The herd on Horsenden Hill have the characteristic white line along the back and down the tail.
They have fairly short horns but these grow over time.
The cattle are quite timid and tend to stick together, often hiding out in the central thicket of hawthorns in the middle of the grazing area. Longhorns are docile but should not be approached or touched.
All litter should be removed from the field, dogs must be on leads and gates must be closed.
The council have been introducing cows to graze the area since 2005.
For more information or to report any damaged fencing on the hill contact the West Ranger Team on 020 8813 9232 or 07912 580223.
