Hand-strimmed area of
M13 at Cors Erddreiniog
NNR. Cut material is raked
to the side of the stand
and provides a valuable
biomass pile for reptiles and
amphibians (Pete Jones).
Firebreak created by
mowing and raking at
Cors Goch by the North
Wales Wildlife Trust. These
breaks provide valuable
grazing and also encourage
access by grazing stock to
unmanaged parts of the site
(Pete Jones).
Self-propelled mower
purchased with EU LIFE+
funding at Cors Bodeilio
NNR. Mowing with a cutter
bar is followed here with
the use of a power-rake
to create wind-rows for
subsequent baling – all
using the same propulsion
unit (Pete Jones).
