HOW YOU CAN HELP

If you know of a badger sett please check it occasionally for signs of disturbance. Also please use our website to let us know of the sett by completing the “Report a Sett” link.

If you do find any signs of disturbance or if you see any signs of suspicious activity DO NOT APPROACH. The men who do this can sometimes be violent and may attack you.

YOU SHOULD HOWEVER:-

Contact the Police immediately using 999 request that the call be logged as an incident and ask for the incident number. Make a note of the descriptions of all individuals seen, their dogs and any implements they have with them. Also note any car registration numbers you see in the area.

If you come across a disturbance at a sett after the event, you should contact both the Police using 101 (and obtain an incident number) and the Northumberland Badger Group. Please make notes of all you see and if possible, take photographs but do not move anything or walk over the site. Please use our email address below to pass on the details to us including the incident number so we can follow up with the police.

We would also like to know of all setts and road casualties and a Grid Reference would be appreciated so that we can record them accurately on our database. Better still WHY NOT JOIN US and help directly.
