A wildlife trust says work to prevent badgers spreading tuberculosis to cattle has been effective
BBC News
It said it had matched DEFRA's contribution to form a team of experts in vaccinating badgers around the Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire border.Trust chief executive Paul Wilkinson said: "Although Defra only provided partial funding, we have chosen to support the BEVS programme for the past seven years because it was the right thing to do.
"To see our successful, cost-effective project, which only cost Defra in the region of £30,000 a year, end is hard to take, especially when there are landowners ready and waiting for us to vaccinate on their land."
