The Board of The Malvern Hills Conservators own and manage over 3,000 acres of countryside in Worcestershire including the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

They were established by Act of Parliament in 1884 and since then have protected the rights of commoners and the public and acted to prevent encroachment on The Malvern Hills and commons.

We, the undersigned, petition the Board of The Malvern Hills Conservators to ban the culling of badgers on all land owned and managed by them.

We ask this because we believe culling to be inhumane, unscientific and of no relevance at all in eradicating bTB.

Signatories to this petition either live, work or study in the Malvern Hills area or have visited this unique and beautiful part of natural England
