Gilfach Harvest

Gilfach Nature Reserve near Rhayader witnessed a traditional harvest on Tuesday 16 August 2005 as the organic 'Black Oat' crop was harvested using a vintage binder. The oats were then stooked by conservation volunteers. Click through a series of images from this landmark event sent in by the Radnorshire Wildlife Trust.
