Legacy Grazing provides management and advisory services to many of the region's finest wildlife sites. Using native breed Red Poll cattle, Dorset Down sheep and Cheviot goats, we deliver bespoke conservation grazing to managers of nature reserves and open spaces, including Essex County Council, Basildon Borough Council, Chelmsford City Council, Colchester Borough Council, Lee Valley Regional Park and East Suffolk Council. Part of Essex County Council's Place Services, we work collaboratively with our partners to achieve the highest standards of habitat management and animal welfare.
We offer extensive knowledge of conservation grazing combining ecological insight with practical know-how.
We are always looking for new technology and ways-of-working to improve the impact our livestock have on the sites they help manage.
We are not conventional livestock graziers, we provide an evidence-led conservation grazing service using native breed livestock.
When you use our service you support our aims to minimise our impact on the climate and to advance the evidence-base for conservation grazing.
