Hiya all,
I have just launched a small environmental website and forum based on Devon.Looking at these forums and this site I am sure some of you would be interested......especially if you live in the South West or Devon itself!There are news,wildlife photography,places to visit and wildlife focus sections as well as the forum.Please visit and take a look!

h**p://www.devonenvironment.co.uk

obviously replace the asterisks with tt ,there are usually restrictions in these forums for posting full web addresses!

Don't worry about it - http://www.devonenvironment.co.uk is fine by us, as long as it's non-commercial and promotes British wildlife then it's fine by us.

It's a nice site with some great photos - I look forward to seeing more. Keep us posted.

Cheers

Stu

P.S. What's the village/town on the frontpage? Looks like a picture postcard setting with rolling hills, cliffs, river and ocean view.

Hi Daveyboy

Looks like the beginning of a nice site. Good luck with it, you live in a fine part of the country

The picture on the frontpage is looking from little Haldon towards Shaldon in the distance, with a little bit of Bishopsteignton in the forground.Thanks for your comments!

Good luck with your site.

I expect you are aware that there are moves to eliminate badgers from TB hotspots - Devon included.

I am sending out the following message to drum up support to stop the killing.

Perhaps you might like to help?

Message reads:
Countdown to extinction?

On 15th December 2005 the British Government announced a twelve week
'public consultation period' to consider whether and how to kill badgers.

Many people consider that this consultation is a sham to soften our
response to what has already been decided - a mass slaughter of a
‘protected’ native wildlife species.

Leading organisations including the RSPCA and the Wildlife Trusts
have already voiced their opposition, but only a massive public response
can prevent the killing.

Just a few moments of your time can make a difference

Please visit www.stopthecull.info for more information.

It would also be helpful if you would encourage everyone you know to
support the badgers at this critical time. Please forward this e-mail to
anyone who may care enough to help.

On behalf of Britain's badgers - thank you


Roger
