Badger helpers praised
15 Mar 2005 - The Huddersfield Daily Examiner
A group which has members in Kirklees has won an award for its work in fighting wildlife crime.
The
National Federation of Badger Groups has won the Partner of the Year
Award, presented by the Partnership for Action Against Wildlife Crime.
It was presented by environment minister Elliot Morley at London Zoo.
Dr
Elaine King, the federation's chief executive, said the award
recognised the hard work of thousands of volunteers who valued and
protected their local wildlife. "This
award is a credit to more than 80 badger groups who work in partnership
with the police, RSPCA and other organisations to protect badgers from
illegal persecution," she said. Kirklees Badger Protection Group was formed in 1988 and has about 60 members.
Secretary Hazel Park said the federation was a small group, with members from all the local volunteer groups who helped out.
She added that it was proud to have received the award. For more information, please click the following link:
