Why are sightings important

Seeing badgers going about their everyday business can be a really rewarding experience, and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. It can also help us to better understand the distribution of badgers across our region and to protect badgers and their habitat.

We will log the information you provide on the Cheshire Record website which holds all of the ecological data for Cheshire. This means that your sighting helps to protect badgers from development, as the information can be accessed by the ecologist at the council if a planning application is lodged in the area.
