Park rangers have been forced to remove Highland cows from a nature reserve after visitors ignored warnings to keep their distance amid an unexpected social media surge. Despite stressed guidance, the Highland cows became unsettled as they were unable to sleep or eat without being bothered. Our Highland Cows are not pets - they are conservation grazers who are doing an important job and helping restore our reserves. Kent Wildlife Trust is the county's leading conservation charity, supported by more than 31,000 members and 1,000 volunteers. And selfie warnings are not only being issued for Highland Cows, as droves of selfie-obsessed tourists were seen circling two stags in 2019.
