Monitoring

Nothing we do is effective without information about, and evidence of, badger activity. Our priority is to identify, survey, record and monitor as many badger setts as possible. 

​

That starts with looking for signs of badger activity in the way of badger runs, fence push-throughs, scrapes, snuffle holes, dung, hair and paw-prints. 

​

When we locate a sett we look for signs of occupancy and activity; we can then record all evidence of sett size and usage, as well as badger runs, paw prints, snuffle holes, scrapes, scat, latrines, hairs, fresh/old bedding, and any other relevant information regarding the site or proximity of threats from people. Badgers are an apex predator and people are their only real threat. 

​

We monitor the setts that we know about and are always interested to find or hear of any new setts. Become a member and join us on one of our Group Sett Surveys.
