IT’S lambing time – and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is offering people a dose of super-cuteness.
The trust’s flock of Hebridean sheep are currently producing lots of little black lambs at Low Carr Farm near Pickering.
And staff are throwing open their gates to visitors this Saturday, April 18, between 10am and noon and then 1pm and 3pm.
A spokesman said: “With 120 sheep in total lambing this year and 40 already having given birth there are plenty of lambs to ‘ahh’ at, plus a good chance of seeing a new-born lamb.
“This is a unique opportunity to be part of the miracle of life and see some of the behind-the-scenes action happens on farm.”
Low Carr Farm – usually closed to the public – is a working farm where the trust’s livestock are cared for in between grazing visits to nature reserves where they are used for ‘conservation grazing’ to provide a varied mix of habitats for wildlife.
All are welcome at Saturday’s sessions but places are limited and booking essential. Cost is £3 for members and £5 for non-members.
