I Was TOLD. People Can Be So Rude

 

I was told -TOLD mind you- that what I needed to do was open up membership, charge a fee and build the group up.

For what?

Firstly, if you have members and charge a fee people SHOULD expect something in return. A newsletter is a waste of time and all the news from the area is posted here or on the blog.

I have mapped out badger areas and we roughly know badger territory. One thing I learnt from field work is that one or two people surveying a site attract some negative attention and there are too many anti badger people out there already.

We maintain a low profile while noting casualties and deaths and preventing construction on traditional badger sites. When I have requested help in surveying an area in the past qualified volunteers have stepped forward.

This work is NOT about building up ego or raising money -wildlife conservation is NOT and should NEVER be about creating a small business.

We will look after and try to conserve badgers in N Somerset, South Gloucestershire, BANES and the City and County of Bristol. THAT is the important thing.
