Badger Trust

We’re the voice for badgers in England and Wales. Since our beginnings in 1986 as the National Federation of Badger Groups, our purpose has been to enhance the welfare, conservation and protection of this iconic symbol of the British countryside. Although by law they’re one the UK’s most protected species, modern badgers face more threats than ever - from road traffic accidents and culling, to wildlife crimes and habitat loss. We educate and inform the public, police and fellow conservation agencies on these issues, while our network of over 50 local voluntary groups carry out frontline work in the community. Inspiring a love for badgers is at the heart of all we do. Follow us here on LinkedIn or sign up to our newsletter for regular insights into their fascinating world:
