The Wildlife Trusts' position on the Government's badger cull to tackle bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in cattle. The Wildlife Trusts have opposed the badger cull since it first started and no Wildlife Trust will allow badger culling on its land. On this page you will find information about the cull and the scientific evidence against culling badgers. A number of Wildlife Trusts are vaccinating badgers as an alternative to culling. Badger vaccination projects are taking place around the country.

The Wildlife Trusts are working to help species pushed close to extinction and to reintroduce missing keystone species.

On Saturday 12 October, thousands of people around the UK will meet with their MP to talk about action for nature and climate.
With a new UK Government now in place, nature’s recovery must be prioritised.

The work The Wildlife Trusts do to help people connect with nature and the wildlife around them. This is through providing access to nature, nature and wellbeing, volunteering, education and learning, events and training.

Nocturnal and shy, badgers aren’t the easiest creatures to glimpse. Join the Wildlife Trusts or a local badger groups to stake out a sett, or get to know your local badgers by tempting them into your own garden.
