Border watch
Over the past month we have been experiencing an increase in reports of poaching on rural farm land, this is most commonly reported through our Border watch volunteers.
Historically as the evenings start to get darker poaching activity increases having a detrimental effect on both the local rural community and the wildlife in the area.
We ask Landowners who witness this illegal activity to obtain as much information as possible including details of vehicles without compromising their own safety.
The rural team will continue to patrol poaching hotspots alongside our Rural Task Force Colleagues whilst working closely with our Border watch volunteers.
If anyone is interested in becoming a Border watch volunteer then please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we will happily provide you with more information.
