don,t shoot them ​ get them to leave some set aside

so they have year round cover and they will do well

You must controll vermin. !!!!!!!!!! And leave habitat.

Agree with the above, vermin control is the key if hares are already present

[paulus 26]

Buzzards are when it comes to leverets

No pesticides.....

Hit the foxs as hard as you can

Hares have made a decent come back in these parts over the past 5 years or so. Habitat work and hammering the foxes appears to have paid off I'm glad to say.

ned is a mystical creature who has survived through the farming revolution set aside has been its savouir but the brown hare faces a greater threat

and they are scared to say it the wild life trust knows ir the whole of the farming communtity and field sports knows it the game conservancy basc , they all know that the BADGER is wiping out leverets and groud nesting bird out in areas throuout the counrty while all other ground vermin is sencibley controled old bill can roam were ever they want ,

grass is very important for very good hare numbers. Their hungriest time can be during the late summer as crops ripen and loose their nutrients, at this time of year hares will travel a good distance to feed on decent grass. Grass margins are a great help for Hare conservation.

 

Apart from that, kill foxes.
