Why Are Badger Surveys Important?
Before starting any construction or land development, it's essential to carry out a badger survey to identify any active badger setts on or near your site. Badger surveys not only protect these animals but also help avoid costly project delays or legal issues. If badgers are found, mitigation strategies licensed sett exclusion and closure, or the creation of artificial setts may be required.
Types of Badger Surveys We Offer
Preliminary Badger Survey
This initial survey assesses your site for signs of badger activity, including sett locations, latrines, paths, and foraging grounds. It is essential to determine whether badgers are present and how they use the land.
Badger Sett Monitoring
If badgers are found, our team can monitor the activity at their setts to determine whether they are actively being used and to assist in devising appropriate mitigation measures.
Badger Mitigation Plans
Should badgers be found on your development site, our team can provide a full mitigation plan, including the creation of alternative setts, licensing, and legal compliance guidance.
