With your help, if a lot of collisions take place near the same spot, we might be able to have a warning sign put up or have other measures put in place. If a female badger is killed we might be able to find her orphaned cubs.
Please fill in as much as you can for road collisions with badgers in Leicestershire and Rutland. For other counties please report via the Badger Trust’s website or other local badger groups
You can read more about the Badger Trust’s ‘Give badgers a brake’ campaign and the importance of reporting accidents here.
