‘Help lost trespassers’: Natural England issues new guidelines for farmers

New advice issued in partnership with Natural Resources Wales designed to help people enjoy countryside

Ask trespassers if they are lost, install gates rather than stiles and only shoot dogs as a last resort.

These are some of the guidelines issued to farmers and land managers by the government conservation agency Natural England, in partnership with Natural Resources Wales. The advice is designed to help people enjoy the countryside and covers protecting livestock and keeping rights of way usable.
