Active badger (Meles meles) sett identified by our in-house ecologist
Whilst completing an ecological assessment of a forest site to accompany an application for a felling license an active badger (Meles meles) sett was identified by our in-house ecologist. A machinery exclusion zone will be implemented around the sett during all forestry operations to avoid disturbance to the badgers. During reforestation operations a significant set-back (unplanted area) will be introduced and a % of fruit baring broad leaved tree species will be pit planted outside of this setback. This will provide open space for the badger and will enhance local, onsite biodiversity.
