Chef is a real workaholic / day

Increasingly, in the interviews, the words that childhood passed, « cows grazing and cow in mowing legs warming ». Jānis Andrušaitis, coordinator of the Latvian Fund for Nature (LDF), laughs warmly. He is a Rigans, at the invitation and education – close to nature, but the grazing of cattle is now quite different. Of course, there are still meadows in the paddocks, but there is no need to climb them. But the story this time is not just about cows, but also the chef – the excellent assistant of the herd coordinator.

Managed by meadows

For the first time, the mobile herd was removed in Latvian meadows eight years ago – in 2017. « Before that, I worked at the Nature Conservation Agency, a project where park -like meadow restoration work was done. I met with the Latvian Nature Fund specialists. When we were restoring areas, we thought how to manage them best, » says Janis Andrušaitis. Of course, it is best to do this with the help of cattle. But until then there was no such experience in Latvia, because it is not a business for farmers. However, when thinking about the benefits of nature and perspective, a mobile herd that can be taken where it is needed is much more efficient than the mower. The idea was developed and the Upper League Cock The base was made.
