Badger sighting

Anyone can be a 'Badger Angel' simply by reporting all badger sightings to OBG. If you know of an active badger sett try to check and report on it regularly.

Please send any information regarding a dead badger, sett, incident or development threat to OBG.

You can find the 6 and 8 digit grid reference using Grid Reference Finder

Wytham Woods - Oxford University annual Badger Watch evenings - 7th, 9th and 10th May

Booking is essential and these events are highly recommended. Follow the link for details

Wytham Woods (Ox Univ site)

Members: Field training Wytham Woods

12 noon, Sunday 9th June at the Sawmill

Advance booking essential

OBG has arranged a members field training day at Wytham Woods. This will include talks and presentations on map reading skills how to read badger field signs, how to identify and map occupied setts. We will be accompanied by Emma from the Wytham Woods team. She will give a little talk on the badgers and hopefully show recent footage of the ones who live in the setts we’ll be visiting. We will also be able to update you on the vaccination programme which is progressing well. Our vaccination team leaders will explain how we plan to trap and vaccinate badgers in the field.

We are again, really grateful to Wytham Woods for letting us use the Sawmill and cloakroom facilities. We have permission to go off the path and visit two setts within easy walking distance of the car park.
The event is ‘members only’ and pre-booking essential.

If you are interested in helping out with vaccination field work or sett surveying this is a really good opportunity to grow your field skills and confidence.
Please register your interest ASAP by email to :
