Badger sett closures
Background
Legal and ethical closure or relocation of badger setts to facilitate land use.
In situations where badger setts are located in high-traffic or development zones, sett closure and relocation become necessary. Crown and Burrow offers a licensed, ethical approach to sett closure and, if needed, the relocation of badgers to safer, legally compliant locations. The process begins with a thorough assessment to determine the most appropriate course of action. Every sett closure is performed in strict adherence to UK environmental laws, ensuring the protection of badgers and their habitats.
Our licensed professionals work with regulatory bodies to secure the required permissions, which include following established protocols to avoid any undue harm to the animals. During relocation, artificial setts are often constructed to provide a secure, alternative habitat. We also monitor the new sett to ensure a smooth transition for the relocated badgers. This service is ideal for developers or landowners needing to repurpose land without risking penalties for wildlife disturbance. With our careful and ethical approach, sett closures and relocations are managed responsibly, supporting both land use goals and the preservation of local badger populations.
The Problem
Illegal sett closures can lead to harm to badger populations and legal penalties.
Relocating badgers without a licence is prohibited and can disrupt local ecosystems.
Lack of appropriate relocation habitats can impact badger survival and health.
Our Solutions
Our team ensures sett closures and relocations are conducted ethically and legally, helping you meet your land use needs while upholding environmental standards.
