Lancashire Badger Group

A registered charity dedicated to the conservation of badgers in Lancashire.

What We Do

As a Member of the Badger Trust, we are dedicated to the conservation and enjoyment of the Badger in the county of Lancashire in England. Here is some of the things we do:

  • We publish a regular Newsletter about what we do, and what issues affect badgers across the UK.
  • We provide information about the badger and education to members of the public.
  • We do Talks to schools, colleges and community groups to explain about what badgers look and sound like and how they live their lives. We also have preserved examples of badgers for people to look at if they have never seen one.
  • We provide a householder service, to advise gardeners who have badgers in their gardens.
  • We provide a consultancy service, advising property developers, local authorities and other large organisations how to safeguard the interests of badgers and remain within the law.
  • We keep a register of badger setts, to help keep badgers safe and their homes protected. This also helps keep Lancashire "green", rather than being covered in concrete, buildings or roads.
  • We provide a Badger Survey service - providing information from our database, as well as looking for badger evidence on the ground. We do this for a very modest fee.
  • We liaise with Lancashire Police as expert witnesses if criminals damage setts, injure or kill badgers or commit other animal-related crime. We support the Prosecution of wildlife criminals.
  • We also have a Badger Hide in the heart of the countryside, so members can watch badgers in summer evenings.

All in all, we think that we provide a friendly value-for-money way to protect badgers and to help members enjoy watching them.
