Vaccinating badgers

Heathpool, Berkshire

One of the Society's larger proposed reserves, a three square-mile block of heath and bog in Berkshire. The intervening years have seen a loss of habitat from urbanisation and afforestation. The National Trust have saved parts of the area such as Finchampstead Ridges and Simons Wood. Longmoor Bog, an area of remaining wetland habitat is designated a SSSI and is part of California Country Park managed by Wokingham Borough Council.
