​​Meet the cattle who manage this reserve naturally, and learn all about them from our experienced Wilder Grazing Ranger for the area.
About this Event

Spend a couple of hours with one of our Wilder Grazing Rangers at Oare Marshes, meeting some of the resident cattle up close.

On this safari you'll learn all about the characteristics of different breeds of cattle, and the roles they play managing the reserve for the benefit of wildlife. The Wilder Grazing team know these animals the best, and they'll show you how to read reaction and body language cues. This will increase your confidence and understanding about how to behave around cattle, how much space to give, and when the best idea is to choose a different path if you ever come across a free roaming herd when you are out in the countryside.

Angus, Sussex, and Angus Sussex cross cattle graze at Oare Marshes and it's expected you will see the herd on this event. However please be aware that our livestock is moved between reserves for the benefit of the land and the animals, sometimes at short notice.


This safari is aimed at an adult audience, 14-17 year olds may attend with an accompanying adult over 18. Hoping to bring the children? Family Wildlife Watch Safaris are available during school holidays, see https://www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/safaris for availability.
