Badgers Surveys UK
At Elite Ecology, we provide professional badger surveys to assess badger presence, sett locations, and habitat use, ensuring compliance with UK wildlife protection laws. Badgers are protected under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, making it illegal to disturb, harm, or interfere with their setts without appropriate mitigation and licensing. Our surveys help developers, landowners, and conservationists manage badger populations responsibly while meeting planning and legal requirements.
Why are Badger Surveys Important?
​
Badgers play a crucial role in ecosystem balance, but habitat loss and development can threaten their survival. Since they are legally protected, any land development that may impact badger setts requires an ecological survey to assess potential risks and implement mitigation strategies where necessary.
