Do wind turbines frighten livestock and wildlife?
Iskra Wind Turbines and the relevant planning
authority aim to ensure that all turbines are appropriately sited.
The Iskra AT5-1 is a small wind turbine and therefore
is unlikely to have a significant impact on surrounding livestock and
wildlife. There is considerable evidence to suggest that sheep, cows and
horses are not disturbed by wind turbines.
Livestock are able to graze in the same field as a
turbine undisturbed by its presence. Similarly there is no evidence to
suggest damage to other wildlife.
