GrazeBeds was established in order to facilitate contact between graziers and landowners, encourage the re-establishment of grazing animals on neglected grasslands and support local grazing.

Aims of GrazeBeds :

• Match owners and managers of land in need of grazing with potential graziers in the local area.

• Provide a local information directory on advice sources and support sources (e.g. vets, fencing contractors/suppliers, livestock transport and haulage, training and other relevant issues).

• Provides grazing management and livestock management advice.

• Advice on conservation grazing for wildlife.

Stock and land owners can register details of their land or livestock requirements for free on the GrazeBeds website by clicking on Register Stock or Register Land and filling in a few questions. This information is then put into the Grazing Exchange page on the website which can be viewed by potential graziers or land owners/managers.

So if you are based in either Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire or Northamptonshire and have under-grazed grasslands or animals available to graze sites, then please register free on GrazeBeds or contact Laura Downton (email: laura.downton@wildlifebcnp.org or Tel: 01234 364213).

This project is supported under the England Rural Development Programme by the Department for environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.
