All wild birds in Wales have legal protection. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has a number of powers under which we can authorise others to kill or take particular species of wild birds, eggs and nests for certain purposes, for example in order to prevent serious damage to crops, livestock or fisheries, to protect public health or safety or to conserve other species of wildlife.
We are undertaking a review of how we exercise these powers.
This review is looking at the different types of permissions that we offer and the processes used to deliver these activities to seek to make improvements.
Why are we consulting?
We want to hear your views on our proposals.
The findings of the consultation will help shape our future approach to the permissions we give for shooting and trapping wild birds in Wales and the destruction of their eggs and nests.
What are we consulting on?
This consultation seeks your views on proposals for NRW’s approach to regulating the shooting and trapping of wild birds in Wales and the destruction of eggs and nests. The details of our proposals are contained in a consultation document. Links to the consultation document and a number of other relevant documents are given below.
