Building a Badger Sett

Recommended Posts

As per title....

 

I have just spent an interesting 3 days constructing a large Badger Sett from scratch.....:001_smile:

 

This involved excavated about a mtr down, constructing chambers and all connection tunnels then covering it all with 120 tonnes of soil. This will then be planted to provide cover. Different work to usual but a welcome change.

 

Heres a few photos (unfortunately I accidently deleted alot more.)

Hi that looks great ,has a set been destroyed and you have to build a new one or have they been relocated due to building work or a new road or something ?

 

Planning permission to build a new local cinema in close proximity to an existing sett. App granted on condition that Badgers are relocated. This will take place in Aug/Sept.

That's good work, and pleasing to know it was part of the conditions, although large may not be the right description - I have been told that large sets can run to 100m+

 

You need to get the spade back out and keep digging!!

 

some of the chambers have been left 'open' at the back so the badgers can expand as and when they feel like. :001_smile:

Care to elaborate? Is that in reference that we are culling but also stipulating measures such as the above? Or that planning permission was granted?

Great work. is there specific distances between chambers and sizes etc or is it just random placing?

 

we had a plan drawn up by the ecologists with specific distances/sizes etc.....think these were based around dimensions taken from previous setts etc.
