Staycation activities ‘not always appropriate’
A local naturalist says increased interest in Manx wildlife is welcome, but warns the public must be careful ‘not to spoil it’.
With options for travel restricted by COVID-19, holidaymakers have opted for ‘staycations’, with more people seeking to enjoy the Island’s natural heritage.
Tim Earl is an international wildlife tour operator and lecturer.
He says though the increased interest is positive, activities which could disturb ecosystems aren’t always appropriate:
Fundraiser for TT rider Maria Costello surpasses £220k
Warmer than average May for Island
Manx BirdLife awarded funding for new warden
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
