Dung beetle expert to lead 'poo patrol' at Market Drayton community farm
A community-owned farm in Market Drayton is preparing to welcome a dung beetle expert to take visitors on a 'poo patrol'.
The team at Fordhall Organic Farm are eagerly awaiting a visit from farm vet and dung beetle expert, Claire Whittle.
Claire will be introducing visitors of all ages to the wacky and wonderful world of the poo-dwelling critters she specialises in.
The community-owned farm considers caring for the environment one of its core values and operates a regenerative farming system called foggage farming.
Pioneered by the late Arthur Hollins, it involves maintaining a pasture system where the livestock can graze outdoors year-round.
