Traditional cows to help bring mountainside back to life after devastating fires

The herd of six cows will trample bracken and eat the purple moor-grass that has sprung up since the fire, providing the space for native plants and heather to return, and creating habitat for newts, lizards, ground-nesting birds, and hares

The Luing breed of cattle was developed on the Island of Luing, Scotland

Traditional cattle are set to aid the recovery of one of Northern Ireland's most iconic landscapes following devastating fires.

Destruction was wrecked across a section of the Mourne Mountains in County Down by a widespread blaze in April 2021.
