Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust opposes the badger cull and does not allow badger culling on its land. In line with other Wildlife Trusts, we think that the Government’s plan to phase out the badger cull means that no further cull licenses should be granted.

Like all other stakeholders, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust is currently waiting for further information to be made available by Forestry England (FE), regarding both the public consultation process and ecological survey work. 

We are aware of the changes happening at Juniper Hill Field and understand that for many years this meadow has been important for the wildlife it supports. We know there are also many local people who have strong emotional attachments to the site, who have enjoyed walking there over many years.
