Farmers Restoring Wildlife Habitat - Badgers and Tallgrass Prairie Prepared by Nancy Tilt for the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association March 12, 2002 Doug McGee, a cash crop farmer in Lambton County, is actively involved in tallgrass prairie restoration through the Rural Lambton Stewardship Network (RLSN). McGee, along with his brother, Dave, have dedicated about 10 acres of their own land to prairie restoration, so far, and plan to designate another four this year. They have planted odd corners of fields, strips adjacent to woodlot edges, buffer strips along watercourses and portions of bottomlands. The Ontario Soil and Crop Association is reporting on this as part of an Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) communication initiative about wildlife on the farm. When asked about the motivating force behind his commitment, Doug responds, "I want to put something back into the land that will benefit future generations. Restoring some tallgrass prairie, and the wildlife habitat that goes with it, is one way of doing that." The badger is the mascot for Tallgrass Ontario, a network of organizations and individuals dedicated to prairie restoration. Why the badger? Ron Gould, Species-at-Risk Biologist with the Aylmer MNR office, explains, "The badger is a top predator in the prairie ecosystem. If its population is healthy, then you know the whole ecosystem is healthy. Our southwestern Ontario badger population is in trouble. We estimate it at less than 100. A sustainable population would require about 500 individuals."

Specialist Units Wildlife Crime Badgers Lancashire has a large number of badger setts. Unfortunately, this brings with it the problem of badger diggers and other badger-related offences such as "illegal blocking of setts". "Diggers" - as they are called - usually use a small terrier-type dog, fitted with a locator collar. The dog is put down the sett and looks for a badger. Once a badger is located, a signal is transmitted back to the "digger", who then knows where to dig. The badger may be baited at the scene or taken away and entered to fight in an illegal event. Badgers and their setts are protected. It is illegal to: Dig for a badger; Interfere with a badger sett in any way; Cause a dog to enter a sett. Anyone found guilty of any of these offences could be imprisoned for six months or fined £5,000. You can help protect badgers in the county by calling the Lancashire Badger Group on 0345-413394. Birds ALL birds (their eggs and nests) are protected SOME of the time. SOME birds are protected ALL of the time. For example, a Golden Eagle is given full protection all the time, but a pheasant - which is known as a game bird - may be legally shot in the open season, but is protected in the closed season between 1 February and 31 September.

88. Country Reflections Article - Mallard badger mighty burrower needs to keep its head down again Putting allthat aside, it is not difficult to be charmed by a badger. http://www.countryreflections.co.uk/columns/badger.htm

BADGER: mighty burrower needs to keep its head down again POWERFULLY built, yet shy and elusive, the badger is an animal which sparks almost as much controversy and debate in the countryside as the fox. Strong claws, big forearms, and a muscular, streamlined body mean the badger is perfectly designed for digging and living unseen underground. Its tendency to exist in large family groups has also added to its ability to thrive despite the urbanisation of much of the country. Badger baiting - where victims are often maimed even before dogs are let at them for 'entertainment' - has long been a scourge. But conservationists have been fighting back and most counties now have groups dedicated to protecting badgers, backed up by police and the RSPCA. Unfortunately, badgers are under threat again from official quarters. Renewed fears about tuberculosis being spread from badgers to cattle recently sounded the death knell for up to 20,000 twilight foraging 'brocks'. Protesters, many of whom think badgers are innocent of the TB charge, are appalled that renewed slaughter of these handsome, hardy creatures has become a feature again of the British countryside.

90. Badgers The best way to see badgers is to join your local badger group. Your local wildlifetrust or the National Federation of badger Groups can put you in touch. http://www.wildlifetrust.org.uk/facts/badgers.htm

Badgers Badgers (Meles meles) have lived in Britain for at least 250,000 years. The latest surveys show that there are a quarter of a million badgers in the UK, unevenly distributed across the country. The effects of persecution and changing land use mean that they have almost disappeared from some areas. How badgers live Badgers live in groups of up to 14 adults. The badgers dig out and live in a maze of underground tunnels and chambers called a sett. The main sett is occupied all year round and is a permanent home in fact some are thought to be around 100 years old. Around each main sett, there are others that are used sporadically throughout the year, often between January and March when the cubs are born. Badgers like to build their setts into sloping ground in woodlands, especially where the drainage is good and the soil is not too heavy to dig. Badgers are rarely seen during the day, but forage for food at night. Their favourite foods are earthworms, insects, roots, fruits and berries. They may on occasion catch a young rabbit or even a frog. They are powerful animals about the size of a spaniel, and the male (boar), weighing up to 11 kilos, is slightly larger than the female (sow). Threats to badgers Badgers can live for up to 14 years, but are likely to die or be killed before they reach this age. Road traffic kills around 50,000 each year, and although this is a terrible toll, populations in many areas remain high. Intensive agriculture and urbanisation have more serious effects. Badgers are creatures of habit and cannot easily adapt to change. Where they are disturbed by development or people interfering with their setts, they may have problems in adapting, and may be forced to move on.

Sponsors Badger Watch Information on badgers from The Mammal Society here When our webcam is running, visitors can see a family of badgers in real time, as they leave their setts at dusk in search of food and return before dawn. It is hoped that the webcam will be able to capture other badger activities, such as sett excavations and social interactions. Because badgers are mostly active at night, the webcam must be able to "see in the dark". The images below were obtained while testing a number of different types of camera equipment, including one which uses infrared light to see the badgers under low light conditions. While the equipment is set up in front of the badger sett, the badgers are completely unaware that their normally unseen activities are being watched by an audience from all around the world.

The Allan Bantick Wildlife Page Allan has become increasingly involved in Scottish wildlife conservation, and has experienced some of the highs and lows that such involvement brings. He has held a poisoned buzzard in his hands, then seen that bird fly away next day, healthy and anxious to be free. He has watched the distraught behaviour of a pair of ospreys whose eggs had just been stolen, then, a year later, watched that same pair raise a family of three fine youngsters. Allan was deeply affected by these and other similar experiences, and is now largely retired so as to devote most of his time to wildlife matters. His present positions include: Vice Chairman of Scottish Badgers Coordinator of the Highland Badger Network Badenoch and Strathspey representative on the North Region Committee of the Scottish Wildlife Trust Honorary Manager of the Strathspey Badger Hide Webmaster for the Highland Badger Network, Badenoch and Strathspey Conservation Group and the Scottish Beavers Network. Allan also helps Scottish Natural Heritage, the police, and other bodies when occasion demands, but as well as this behind-the-scenes work he remains directly involved with the study, protection and hands-on conservation of a wide range of birds and beasts. At various times these have included ospreys, otters, badgers, dolphins, capercaillies, red squirrels and crested tits.

Home About Us How can I help? News ... Julie Walters Despite their cuddly appearance, badgers are dangerous animals and have a powerful bite. All you can do is call your local rescue centre and keep an eye on it, especially if it starts to crawl away. Do not try to pick it up! Click the link on the right to go to our emergency advice page. Even the smallest badger cub can have a powerful bite, so keep clear from the dangerous end! If you can, cover it with a blanket, contain it in some way and stay there until help arrives. Follow the link at the bottom of the page to go to our emergency advice page. If it is very small, it is possible that the cub may have been orphaned - they do not usually stray far from their sett unless something is wrong. Put down some water and cat food (not a fish variety) if possible - it may be very hungry and desperate for food. If the cub is big enough to have been weaned, there may be nothing to worry about but please watch to see if a parent comes looking for it for the cub. In either event, call your local rescue centre who will be able to advise you as to the best course of action

Home About Us Appeals News ... Link to Us BADGER FACT SHEET Badgers are members of the mustelid group of carnivores, which include stoats, skunks and otters. Badgers are present on all continents except Antarctica and Australasia. There are nine species of badger. Most species have the characteristic colour pattern of black and white, especially on the head. Despite these similarities, the species are not very closely related and most are included in their own genus. The word badger is thought to originate from the French becheur which can be translated as a digger or gardener - quite apt for a group of animals which spend most of their time digging for worms. All badgers dig burrows, though it is the Eurasian badger which have the most complex and ancient setts. The Eurasian Badger The badger that lives in Britain is the Eurasian badger, Meles meles.
