FREDDIE’S horse power is making light work of a job to clear felled timber in a Barnsley woodland.
Barnsley Council’s parks service is using the special method to remove timber at Cliffe Wood local nature reserve in Dearne Valley Park.
The service has enlisted the help of Freddie, a six-year-old Belgian draft horse, to help out with forestry work. Freddie, who has been supplied by White Rose Heavy Horses, is bred and specifically trained to remove felled timber Ð a technique known as ‘horse logging’.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
