Annual General Meeting

The National Trust’s Board of Trustees has now met to reflect on all the resolutions at the 2021 AGM and shared their response to each, including their decision on trail hunting licences.

The National Trust’s Board of Trustees has announced the charity will no longer issue licences for trail hunting on Trust land. At the charity’s Annual General Meeting in October 2021, members voted by 76,816 to 38,184 in favour of banning trail hunting on our land. The Trustees considered this and a wide range of complex factors before coming to their decision.

This resolution invites members to approve new rules for general meetings and Council election ballots, as described on pages 18-25 of your AGM booklet. A full marked up copy of the Parliamentary Scheme showing all the changes is available to view or download here.
