Some Wildlife Wardens prefer to get involved in desk-based projects. Here are a few of examples.

Wildlife Wardens from across Teignbridge write frequent articles for their parish magazines, local newspapers and social media pages. It’s a great way of reaching the public, and is used to promote wildlife gardening, promote citizen science projects, raise awareness of issues and celebrate wildlife sightings.

Paul Havemann, Julie Gregory (Shaldon Wildlife Wardens) and Flavio Winkler Ford (the WW coordinator) wrote a 17 page complaint to the Marine Management Organisation about their decision to allow the dredging of Exmouth Marina and the deposition of sludge into Lyme Bay. We were concerned about the impact that the sludge would have on marine life, local businesses and bathing water quality.

Many of our Wildlife Wardens respond to local planning applications, and ACT provides support and guidance on this. With the help of Wildlife Wardens and their local knowledge, ACT responded to all stages of the Teignbridge Local Plan consultation.
