Many of the badgers that die on our roads could be saved if they received treatment. So, if possible and ONLY if you can do so safely, check badger bodies for signs of life. Caution should be taken though as badgers are very strong and may attack when injured or feel threatened.

If you are in any doubt, please call HART Wildlife Rescue on 01256 770438. Or contact the Badger Trust on 0207 228 6444. All parts of the country are covered by local groups and their contact numbers are available from the Badger Trust or from their web site, under the section ‘Find your local badger group’. See www.badger.org.uk

IMPORTANT

If you suspect badger baiters are in your area, call the police IMMEDIATELY and don’t attempt to apprehend any individuals yourself.
