Natural England’s offices are closed for normal business from lunchtime on Thursday 5 April until Tuesday 10 April 2007.
Throughout the holiday period our offices are closed, but you can still experience Natural England. Our National Nature Reserves are open to visitors, as are the National Trails, Heritage Coasts, and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). In fact there are endless opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy yourself during the Easter holiday period.
In an emergency your first point of contact should be the appropriate emergency service, fire brigade, police, ambulance or coastguard.
To report an oil pollution incident on the coast or at sea telephone our 24-hour oil pollution pager service on 07659 124846.
To report suspected poisoning of wildlife telephone 0800 321600 (Freephone).
