Badger artificial setts
Background
Constructing alternative setts for safe badger relocation from sensitive areas.
Artificial sett construction is a valuable solution for situations where badger relocation is necessary but natural setts are no longer viable. At Crown and Burrow, we specialise in designing and building artificial setts that provide badgers with a safe and sustainable living environment. Our artificial setts are carefully planned to mimic the structure and functionality of natural setts, creating a comfortable and secure habitat that meets the needs of these animals.
The construction process involves selecting a suitable location away from potential disturbances, digging tunnels and chambers that replicate natural sett features, and installing materials that support stability and longevity. We consider various factors, such as soil type, drainage, and proximity to foraging areas, to ensure the sett is attractive and beneficial for badgers.
By offering these alternative habitats, we enable land development to continue without harming local badger populations, promoting a conservation-conscious approach to land management. These setts can also be used as part of wider habitat improvement initiatives, helping landowners support biodiversity on their property.
The Problem
Loss of natural setts due to land use changes can displace badger populations.
Displaced badgers lack safe habitats, leading to potential survival issues.
Traditional construction can fail to replicate the security and functionality of natural setts.
Our Solutions
We create custom-built artificial setts, ensuring badgers have secure living spaces away from risk zones, balancing habitat protection with land development needs.
