Our Group

The East Yorkshire Badger Protection Group was founded in 1987.
We cover the area from Filey down to Spurn and from Malton, east of York down to Goole,
including the Selby District but we will cross boundaries – after all, badgers do!

Our Aims

To survey, record and monitor badger setts in order to protect badgers.
Sett interference can be deliberate ( a crime) or due to a lack of awareness.

Membership and donations provides funds enabling the group
to purchase motion cameras and rescue equipment. This together with
' feet on the ground' helps us to implement our aims.

We support the Badger Trust who campaign on sound science against the cull.
Please visit The Wildlife Trust website.

We also offer advice to landowners and householders on matters relating to badgers,
and offer practical help when problems occur.
