For a number of years now the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust has conducted badger vaccinations in and around Notts.

NWT have been successful in obtaining funding from DEFRA to continue the BEVS project in 2022. They have a new project area that has been agreed by DEFRA/NE (which they believe is out of the current badger cull zone). This is west of the old area from Ruddington & Keyworth in the north and Barrow upon Soar in the south (an additional 168km2). Therefore NWT are keen to get working on making landowner contacts etc. This is a large area so the initial target area for year one will be a 28km2 area around Wysall & Wymeswold (covering some 20 farms) which straddles the Notts / Leics border.
