Hastings Badger Protection Society

Hastings Badger Protection Society was brought together by a very determined group of ladies who were tired of badgers and foxes being treated so cruelly.

It has a long history but now needs more members to help re-launch to be there for badgers locally Since the 1992 Badger Act was passed, the problems the Society handles have changed to some extent, although badgers, their setts and very close environments are protected. All wildlife, including badgers, are at greater risk now than in 1973 when the Badger Act was first introduced. Locally, in Roth

er and Hastings, habitats and traditional sources of fresh water are being destroyed at an ever increasing rate, native food bearing trees are being cleared and foreign exotic trees are being planted in their place. The Society has continued from the beginning to help with advice, practical help and examples to help people understand and maintain the future welfare of badgers and other wildlife.

For far too long, there has been a belief that people who harm animals, particularly badgers, also harm people, with a number of these involved with domestic violence within the home.

Now, through analytical work carried out by the NWCU and supported by statistical information and reports from Badger Trust, this has been proven.

The clear picture emerging is that persons who harm badgers are likely to harm humans.

This is known as polycriminality.

A non-conviction in a wildlife crime case has far-reaching consequences, and we need to take action!

Badger Trust will be holding an informal online information meeting at the end of June for anyone who would like to find out more about the re-launch of Hastings Badger Protection Society and how to get involved.

Without local people, we cannot be there for badgers in Hastings. We know Hastings has a significant badger population, and a thriving local group can help educate, advocate, and protect badgers while working closely with the community.

If you are interested in getting involved, please complete our online interest form and we will send you the meeting invite once arrangements are confirmed.

Who’s been keeping track of cub development this spring? 👀🦡

From tiny, fluffy cubs to curious young badgers exploring the world, we’d love to see this year’s little ones growing up!

🦡 All About Badgers - Cubs

Badgers exhibit delayed implantation, where fertilised eggs pause development before implanting in the uterus. This ensures cubs are born in late winter, timed with improving spring food availability.

Cubs are born blind and remain dependent within the safety of the sett.

🦡 All About Badgers - Activity

Badgers are primarily nocturnal and show strong seasonal shifts in behaviour and metabolism. They accumulate fat reserves in autumn to support reduced winter activity.

They don't hibernate, but reduce activity (torpor) and can remain inactive in the sett for extended periods during harsh conditions.

🦡 All About Badgers - Senses

Badgers rely heavily on smell, supported by highly complex turbinate bones inside the nasal cavity that increase scent detection efficiency.

This allows them to locate underground prey and communicate through scent marking within and between social groups. All vital to their daily lives.

Every great wildlife success story starts with people who care.

The return of the Hastings Badger Group is about hope: for badgers, for nature, and for the local community.

Together, we can protect habitats, raise awareness, and make Hastings safer for badgers once again.

Join us and be part of the comeback story. We are now collating interest before we hold an online informational meeting.

Email: [email protected] to get involved.
