Trees & Regulations

Trees and Bats
All bat species in Britain are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 through inclusion in Schedule 5. They are also protected under the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c.) Regulations 1994 (which were issued under the European Communities Act 1972), through inclusion in Schedule 2. On 1st April 2010, these Regulations, together with subsequent amendments, were consolidated into the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010.
