The government is reviewing quarry species and seasons in England, Wales and Scotland and there is limited time to have your say.

If we don’t act, there could be a ban or reduced shooting season for 8 quarry species.  These threats need to be challenged and there is an opportunity to get species onto the quarry lists.
Respond to the consultation by 17 May by emailing WildlifeManagementAndCrime@defra.gov.uk with the subject title ‘My response to the quarry species consultation’.
Some people may wish to complete the online consultation response form which can be accessed from here.

BASC has published guidance with suggested answers to all the questions on the online form.
