Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

  1. Call the office on 01256 381190.
  2. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call.
  3. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly.

NOTES:

  • Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call.

  • If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed.

  • Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact.


    Thank you!

    Belated Post (21st Nov) Found 26 out of 27!

    They were in 5 herds spread far and wide across the site! Fortunately, the missing one was NOT the escapee(eve of sunday 20th), who I saw with a small herd in the centre of the site near one of our controlled burn sites.

    Dave is emailing Jack to get the rest of the herds numbers on the blog for us.

    Thanks all.

    Sorry, should have posted this yesterday!

    We walked for a couple of hours around the eastern end of the reserve. Lots of people enjoying the late autumn weather on foot or on bikes.Surprised only to find 6 cows, up beside the lookout, grazing happily on recently cut gorse.
