Danger below Richmond Hill
Once upon a time the good people of Richmond
were unaware of the great danger lurking below Richmond Hill. Visitors by the
hundreds looked across Petersham Meadows and took in the historic view
without ever considering that this pastoral scene was a disaster hundreds of
years in the making. Thanks to the immense
foresight of the National Trust this danger was quickly brought under control
and the Petersham Herd was contained behind an electric fence.
New Danger introduced by the National Trust
Enhancing the natural beauty of the meadows
Eliminating this great danger has brought a
new tranquillity to the Petersham Meadows; parents can now be heard calling to
their children, ‘keep away from that electric fence’. National Trust staff are
always on hand with their mechanical machines enhancing the natural beauty of
the meadows. Now that the danger has been purged there is no need for warning
signs, high visibility vests or ear protection when maintenance is in progress.
Grass cutting underway
No signs warning the public or protective equipment for the workers
Families with children have no warning of the new dangers obscured by the tall grass
