Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

  1. Call the office on 01256 381190.
  2. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call.
  3. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly.

NOTES:

  • Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call.

  • If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed.

  • Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact.


    Thank you!

    BIG NEWS

    I visited late last night at sunset as I wanted to survey for a rare bird called the Nightjar.  It is a nocturnal bird that sings at dusk and only lives on heaths in this country.  It is also a bird that suffers hugely at being disturbed as it nears on the ground.

    Needless to say I heard it on site so can confirm a swell as having breeding woodlarks we also have nightjars on site.

    This is fantastic news and will add further weight to my aspiration of having this piece of land designated for protection due to its wildlife.  Big fight ahead.

    Also the cows were all well and grazing as the sun set

      Hi Elliot, I understand the Nightjar is one of UK rarest birds (only about 4K breeding pairs). Anyone watching Springwatch recently would have seen the extreme excitement at the BBC managing to film one of these allusive birds last week at RSPB Minsmere. To think of having them on the Heath is very interesting ! With a new housing estate now to be built at the old Pystock site adjacent to the Heath makes it probably under more threat than ever long term. Your find indeed shows even more how precious this area is to wildlife and that it should be protected.

      Thats fantastic, I've been so enjoying watching and listening to the stonechats and I saw a whole group of nut hatches the other day, foraging from tree to tree. Oh and the sundew are beautiful again. Loving this place more and more. X
