#WildlifeCrime Officers have been checking angling licenses at Phillips House in Dinton Park, part of the @nationaltrust. All licenses were in order and everyone was observing #Covid19 guidelines. All dogs were under close control #RuralCrime

Well done to one of our #rualcrimevolunteers, shows the value of eyes and ears in the countryside. Also shows the clear links between poaching and rural crime

[exwco @exwco]

Good blog from Jim Barrington. Making the point that those who are most critical of country sports seldom make positive contributions to conservation.

[Giles Evans @GilesEvansAT]

@KiMcGuinness Thank you Kim, really appreciated. Stay safe and thanks for the reply

[Giles Evans @GilesEvansAT]

1st of 4 days off and was hoping to be celebrating our 25th Wedding anniversary today in sunny Bamburgh with a cold glass of bubbly on the decking - never mind, far more important to stay safe and at home. Not like the 4 quads flying around the countryside at the minute !!!

[Giles Evans @GilesEvansAT]

@ClevelandRural @DaveMuntAT Thanks both - Hope you are both keeping well and stay safe

Twitter is a great place to share information and views, however it can also be a place to share emotive media, with no substance to the facts to back up the claims. Seen a few of these recently and it's a dangerous game to play for all

[Stephen Cheetham @Spider_fishing]

Pictures of three poachers seen on the Wharfe at Burnsall. Please share.

[Angling Trust @AnglingTrust]

Angling Trust has been working hard behind the scenes to make the case for the safe resumption of fishing, once the Government decides that some restrictions can be lifted. This piece in the Telegraph today may be a promising sign that our efforts have been noticed.
