Badgers are frequently encountered on development sites, so it is important that ecologists have a clear understanding of the legislation and guidance relating to badgers and development, and to make sure we use appropriate mitigation techniques. When is a licence required? What type of licence is required? Will this activity result in disturbance of badgers in a sett? Is this an active sett? If these are questions that your have asked, then our advanced badgers and development course is probably just what you are looking for. This online course is a pre-recorded webinar on video.

Playing time 3 hours 16 mins.

Course outline: This course will be taught by an experienced ecologist from Ecology Training UK and is aimed at those who work with developers on sites with badgers, and those ecologists working under infrastructure maintenance contracts.

It will cover the following topics:

• Badgers and the law
• Badger issues in development projects
• Types of licences (for development and in response to property damage)
• Mitigation techniques for both licence types
• Case studies of badger projects.

Here’s what our students are saying:

Having previously undertaken courses with etuk, I was excited to take the Badgers & Developments one. It didn’t disappoint, Sue’s style of teaching, course content and explanations were easy to understand, with the added bonus of being able to download the manual for future reference. I immediately shared the availability of this course with friends and colleagues, and cannot recommend enough courses with etuk.

I liked the way Sue explained each module, she was clear and her passion was visible! She motivated me even more!

I liked the course, it was very comprehensive. I’m surprised how much I enjoyed the online elements of the course, I thought I would do better in a face to face course but honestly being able to go at my own pace is really working for me as I can spend time on the bits I find tricky as they come up rather than making a note to look things up later… I like the YouTube videos, being able to pause or even speed up the video to match my pace works well for me. I do feel like I learnt a lot. I would 100% recommend the course to others

ETUK- has really given me a step up into the ecology sector. I feel confident and motivated to take my career development in this direction, particularly in bat work, this course has given me the foundations to achieve that. Thank you 🙂
