Petition launched to make ‘netting’ hedgerows to prevent birds from nesting a criminal offence. 

A petition has been launched for a debate in parliament:

Developers, and other interested parties are circumventing laws protecting birds by ‘netting’ hedgerows to prevent birds from nesting.

This facilitates the uprooting of hedgerows which aid biodiversity and provide the only remaining nesting sites for birds, whose numbers are in sharp decline.
