Welcome to an area of outstanding natural beauty

In 2022 a small number of landowners in the Malvern Hills National Landscape agreed to participate in a badger vaccination project. Since then the Animal and Plant Health Agency has administered 351 doses of BadgerBCG to cubs and adults in the area.

Results from this work have been added to other vaccination data collected across England and are being analysed to better understand the impacts of badger vaccination on preventing TB in cattle. Thank you to the participating land owners for engaging in this important work.

We’ve been out this week helping to plant 80 fruit trees (traditional varieties) across 4 different orchards in the National Landscape. Most of these orchards are old and provide a great habitat for nature but they were badly in need of some new life to fill the gaps where trees used to be.

Thank you for the help provided by the Greenspace Team Worcestershire County Council and children from Ledbury Primary School. Some beautiful miniature Hereford cattle were keen to see what was going on at on at one of the sites.

Funding from #farminginprotectedlandscapes so thank you Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). … See MoreSee Less
