Many habitats have suffered from neglect and poor ecological use for many decades, with little regard or consideration being given to the affects our modern life may have on them.

In England, grass snakes are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and cannot be harmed or traded without a licence In 2007, the Grass Snake was included on the updated UK Biodiversity Action Plan as a species in need of conservation and greater protection
