Busy, busy, busy

Legacy Habitat Management contracting staff have been extremely busy on the ground installing newt fencing over the closing summer months. This time of year is often a very busy time for newt fencing work as the newt trapping window starts to close.

 
Great Crested Newt trapping can only take place whilst outside temperatures allow. If the temperature drops below 5°C, newts become immobile and cannot be trapped. This means the potential loss of a trapping days, which can in turn hold up any development projects. Developers are often therefore very keen to get any newt fencing projects, with associated trapping, out of the way before colder weather arrives and trapping cannot be completed, thus, possibly delaying a development project until the following spring.

Legacy Habitat Management are pulling out all the stops to meet your newt fencing requirements in these crucial months before the onset of winter.
We have recently carried out newt fencing projects at:

Longcliffe Quarry, Derbyshire
Ashton Vale, Bristol
Northstead Valley, Scarborough
Woodstock, Oxfordshire
Sherringham Shoal, Norfolk
Wentloog, Cardiff

Remember that www.wildlifefencing.co.uk stocks pitfall traps, floats & mammal ladders for your Great Crested Newt trapping projects.
