Phone for help immediately if you find:

•    a sick or injured badger;

•    a snared badger;

•    a trapped badger;

•   or a badger distressed in any other way.

​

Do not attempt to touch the badger or resolve the situation yourself in the first instance.  Prioritise your own and other people's safety at all times.
