BADGERS! - HELP WANTED
DO YOU KNOW ANY BADGER SETTS IN YOUR AREA?
IF SO, ARE THEY IN REGULAR USE OR HAVE THEY BEEN DESERTED
FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS?
Some recent reports suggest that, in parts of the county,
badgers are becoming very scarce, whilst in other areas
they appear to be holding their own. The E.F.C. Mammal
Group is planning to conduct a survey which we hope will
help to clarify the situation and possibly indicate some
of the causes of declining badger populations in certain
areas.
In view of the limited resources available,
recording effort must be focused on a number of chosen
areas across the county.
WE NEED MORE HELPERS! CAN YOU HELP?
More helpers will mean that additional areas can be
included in the survey, thereby increasing its value.'
YOUR HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
If you know of any badgers or badger setts in your area
or would be willing to visit a sett on a regular basis
several times a year and report your findings, please
contact:-
