If you do something as part of your job under the Conservation Act 1987, you are protected from being sued. You will not get in trouble unless you do something on purpose to hurt someone or you do not have a good reason for doing it. You are safe if you make an honest mistake or do not know something, as long as you are trying to do your job properly.
