There have been increasingly regular incidences of vandalism and anti-social behaviour at the Staveley Nature Reserve. Unfortunately, this has resulted in damage to the round bird hide on the west lagoon, and to items within it. Whilst the damage is thankfully minimal for now, it will still cost Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT) time and money to repair and replace.
The activity has been reported to the police as criminal damage. If anyone sees this occurring in future, please call the police and quote crime reference number NYP-18072023-0487 and also let YWT Living Landscapes Officer Laura Harman know on 07896 674810.
