Trust explores plan for badger vaccine

"I am delighted that the National Trust is keen to work with us to explore potential for badger vaccination on its land."
Welsh Government and National Trust staff will now consider how best to take forward the proposals.
Justin Albert, director of the trust in Wales, said: "We are very aware of the devastating effects of bovine TB on farmers and have been working hard to find ways to protect herds, livelihoods, rural communities and wildlife."
