The government pledged to end the “ineffective badger culls”. Instead, 17,150 more badgers were killed in 2024.

Cull targets are missed, badgers go untested, and the real cause of bovine TB — cattle-to-cattle transmission (94% of all cases) — is ignored.

This is a failed, costly, and cruel policy.

Reflection on Badgers

In stillness, truth stands unafraid of dark.
A sentinel of earth, cloaked in silence and bark.
Each droplet falls like memory from fur,
Time made visible in the ripple and blur.
The face in the water, the soul in the ground,
Watches, remembers, without making a sound.
Not enemy, innocent and keeper of lore,
Digging through centuries, myths, and more.
To know a badger is to know the land’s grief,
And yet, their defiance, is a symbol of belief.

Each night, on leaving their setts, badgers check the air to work out where in their territory worms will be emerging from the soil! 🪱

The badger’s love of worms has helped it to survive the destruction of most of our woodlands. Ancient woodland has the highest densities of earthworms, but worms remain in sufficient numbers to support badgers even where woods have gone.

No Fires allowed within a woodland!

After experiencing copious amounts of sunshine in this lovely Spring weather a decision has been taken to prohibit the lighting of any fires within the woodland areas of Bradford. This is due to the ground and foliage being quite dry.

Please refrain from lighting fires in all Woodland settings. Fires are now prohibited as a fire safety precaution.

Bradford Council Trees & Woodlands appreciate your co-operation in this matter.

Badger killings on the rise – urgent action needed!

Badger Trust has seen a worrying increase in badgers shot in 2025. Despite strong legal protections, enforcement remains weak, and perpetrators often go unpunished. Badgers play a crucial role in our ecosystems – we must act now to protect them.

Not a massive positive post but! It's been a few years now since working in Wilsden with a badger sett after a we got somewhere with a crime against builders! We had been looking were the badgers had gone after some disturbance. Cue the wonderful friends of badgers there. Got given access through a chaps garden it was a nightmare at one point I was just stook by thorn trees in my hair ears legs and then frogs and frog spawn masses of it frog heaven. Life for wildlife just gets rips away doesn't it, this is a building site that run out of money
