About the problem

We estimate that some 200-300 badgers are killed by 'road traffic accidents' (RTAs) every year in the Brockwatch area. There are many places where these RTAs happen regularly, including stretches of the A5, A45 and A361. More...

What we are doing

We rescue badgers injured on roads and make sure they are attended to by a vet. We also record all RTA victims to find out where and when casualties occur. 'Badgers crossing' road signs have been put up in some places thanks to Brockwatch. More...
