Mitigating Barn Owl-vehicle collisions on the South West Strategic Road Network (free)

£0.00

In 2021, the Barn Owl Trust was funded by Kier Highways to produce a guidance document identifying sections of the South West Strategic Road Network where Barn Owl-vehicle collisions were most frequent, and proposing mitigation measures for those sections.

Collisions were less likely where scrub covers the verges, preventing Barn Owls from hunting there.
