Cross Hares Pest & Wildlife Management provides assessment-led wildlife management for landowners, farmers, estate managers and commercial property contacts. We are based in Staffordshire and consider suitable work across the UK.
Talk to us about your property
Understanding the concern
We begin with a discussion about what you have seen, the effects on your property and the outcome you are seeking. Depending on the circumstances, a site assessment may be useful before any management work is considered.
Our approach takes account of:
- The species or wildlife activity involved.
- Land use, neighbouring habitats and environmental sensitivities.
- Impacts on agricultural, forestry or estate operations.
- Access, site safety and the welfare of people and animals.
- Legal protections, permissions and suitable management options.
Site-specific recommendations
We believe wildlife management should be proportionate to the issue and appropriate to the setting. We discuss the available options within our operational scope and agree any further work with the landowner or responsible site contact.
Cross Hares undertakes commercial shooting as part of its wider business. Where this is a relevant and lawful management method, any proposed operation is subject to the applicable permissions, site considerations and safety requirements.
We do not suggest that all wildlife can or should be managed in the same way. Some species or situations require different permissions or specialist services.
Support for farms, woodland and estates
Wildlife concerns are often connected to wider land management. We can discuss how an individual issue fits with farming activities, woodland priorities, estate use and the long-term requirements of the property.
For properties with recurring concerns, we can consider ongoing support rather than treating each visit as an isolated matter.
Staffordshire-based, UK-wide
We welcome enquiries from rural property owners and managers across the UK. Travel, site access, permissions and the nature of the work are discussed before any arrangement is made.
Frequently asked questions
Can you manage any wildlife species?
Not necessarily. The species involved, legal protections and the services we actually provide all affect what is possible. Please tell us about your concern so we can confirm whether it falls within our scope.
Will you assess the site before recommending action?
We start by understanding the issue and may recommend a site visit where it is needed to establish suitable options.
Do you offer longer-term wildlife management?
Yes, ongoing arrangements can be discussed for properties where recurring attention is appropriate.
Do you cover commercial properties as well as farms?
Yes. We consider relevant commercial, rural and estate property enquiries on a site-by-site basis.
Let’s discuss your wildlife concern
Tell us about the property, where it is located, what activity has been observed and what you hope to achieve. We can then discuss whether Cross Hares can assist and what the next step would involve.
