Your FAQ

Question: I have seen somebody doing work which is affecting nesting birds, badgers or other protected wildlife. Who should I report this to?

Answer: The Council has no powers to enforce wildlife legislation unless a Planning Application is involved. The Police enforce these matters. You should contact the Police and ask to speak to a Wildlife Liaison Officer for the Isle of Wight. The number to contact is 0845 045 45 45. - Related Link
