Please report sightings or setts outside Oxfordshire via the Badger Trust website.

DO NOT use this form to report emergencies such as an injured badger needing rescue or a crime in progress.

Road Casualty (RTA) or dead badger Sett location or live sighting Crime / incident report
- Badger Casualty Report
- Badger casualty report
  
  Badger road casualty reports help us to track the number of badgers killed on the roads and identify accident 'hot spots'. They also prove that badgers are living in the vicinity. This form can be used for any dead badger sightings. Ill and injured animals will try to get back to safety. Bodies may be found away from a road, in gardens, fields or near a sett.
- Please give an accurate location. We recommend using Grid Reference Finder , what3words or other mobile geo-locator app. We know it is sometimes difficult to be precise, especially when driving at speed. It helps to describe nearby landmarks and give any other information that would help someone find the place you are reporting.
  
  Please report sightings as soon as possible. Our volunteeers may need to go out and check the area. This is specially important during the breeding season (December - June) as there may be orphaned cubs.

- Use this form to report any badger setts and '1st time' live badger sightings. This information is vital to our work protecting badger sett locations and their habitats. With all the development planned for Oxfordshire and the badger cull it is important that we know where badgers are to be found. The data also helps us estimate badger populations and to be able to respond when problems arise.
  
  Please give an accurate location. We recommend using Grid Reference Finder , what3words or other mobile geo-locator app. It helps if you can also describe nearby landmarks, access conditions and give any other information that would help someone find the sett as easily as possible. (e.g. after crossing the stream, to the right of the footpath heading east, under the oak tree).

- Crime/ Incident Report
- Report badger crime or suspicious incidents
- Badger related wildlife crime or suspicious activity can take many forms, including badger persecution, or interfering with their setts and their habitats.
  
  It is essential that you directly report the incident to the police as they will not act on our information alone. When reporting crime locations use what3words where possible.
  
  If it is a crime in progress please ring 999 and ensure you stay safe. If you find evidence after the event please use the non-emergency number 101. Always obtain a crime reference number.
  
  We also ask that you report the incident via the Badger Trust Crime report form.
  
  Oxfordshire Badger Group liaises closely with the Badger Trust Crime officer & local wildlife crime officers. We will gladly provide local support and advice. Contact us by completing this form or email OBG@OxonBadgerGroup.org.uk . Visit our website for more information.
