Badger Surveys

Many animals live in holes in the ground, each leaving distinctive clues at the scene to give away their identity. Holes vary greatly in size and shape and, although some are occupied permanently, others are only used on a temporary basis.

This may seem a little complicated but the important thing is to establish whether the structure you are looking at is a badger sett, and if so whether it is occupied.

Badgers are protected by law and surveys must be carried out to establish the use or non-use of a set to allow or disallow any works such as construction, tree felling, landscaping, anything that could be deemed a disturbance to be carried out on or near a badger set. The service provided is in the ways of monitoring a set and the setting up of static cameras.
