Sett to save Selby badgers!
WILDLIFE enthusiasts in and around Selby have been asked to contact Selby Badger Watch if they know whether there are any setts near proposed Olympia Park development at Barlby BOCM-Silcock site.
Ann Coates, from the group, said it had been contacted by AECOM in Leeds, currently undertaking ecological surveys for the proposed development at the 150-acre scheme.
In order to gain the best understanding possible of badger activity within and around the site, the company is seeking information of known badger setts within a one-a-and-a-half mile radius.
Any data supplied will be used to identify any potential impacts upon badgers and what can be done to safeguard them.
Ms Coates said: “We would kindly ask if anyone has knowledge of badger activity in this area to please get in touch so that we can pass the information on.
“Along with badgers, there are a number of other protected species, such as Great Crested Newt and bats, who may have habitats in this area.
