The protection of badgers, their setts and their habitat

Who we are

We are wildlife enthusiasts, working on a purely voluntary basis.

What we do

• Monitor setts. Check for signs of current activity.
• Respond to and deal with reports of badgers in distress.
• Report wildlife crime to the appropriate authority.
• Survey badger habitats on request.
• Inspect local plans for developments affecting badger habitat.
• Advise on badger law.
• Give advice to householders with a badger problem.
• Liaise with Natural England and RSPCA.

What we can't do

• Control the activity of badgers.
• Translocate healthy badgers.
• Dispose of all road casualties.

Where we operate

We basically cover Scarborough and Whitby areas, extending this wherever practical and possible.
