In light of the decisions of the TAR of Tuscany and the approval of the new regulation of the Contiguous Areas to the natural reserves of Marshes of Fucecchio, the Tuscany Region updated the Hunting Calendar 2020/21. As can be read in the attached press release, lapwing and pochard have been removed from the huntable species and important innovations are contained in the new regulation of the contiguous area, which unfortunately extends the ban on the use of lead on new territories and prohibits stray hunting throughout the contiguous area for the first two hours of the hunting day.
