An extensive grazing trial was carried out between 1997 and 2003, with the aim of determining:
(a) Whether cattle grazing, in conjunction with sheep grazing, has a significant effect on the vegetation of Braunton Burrows and in particular whether mixed grazing is likely to be successful in achieving ‘favourable condition’ status in terms of JNCC's Common Standards Monitoring guidance for sand dunes;
(b) Whether the timing of grazing and the stocking density have had a significant effect on how grazing affected the vegetation of the Burrows.
