We have a variety of wildlife among the Churchyards that we look after in the Mease Valley. Sometimes this can include badgers. Typically we begin to notice evidence of digging in areas where badgers are active. These areas are easy to back fill with earth.

Badger Sets:

In some cases actual sites can be identified near plots where badgers have dug extensively to make a set. These areas are protected by the law and we can’t remove them from a churchyard.

Below is a link to some of the rules that are followed.
