Reporting damage caused by game

If you discover damage caused by wild animals - for example on agricultural land, in gardens or at public facilities - you can report this to the responsible public order office. Reporting damage caused by wild animals is important to enable an assessment and, if necessary, a settlement.

Typical damage caused by game includes

• Browsing, trampling or sweeping damage to agricultural crops

• Damage caused by wild boar to meadows or gardens

• Damage to fences or other property fixtures

The report should be made promptly and ideally include photos and a precise location. After examination, an assessment may be arranged by the responsible body.
