Ever wondered who’s visiting your garden after dark? Join our brand new citizen science project, BrockWatch, and help us discover how badgers use our urban, suburban and rural spaces. â€‹â€‹

Sign up to BrockWatch now to become a Badger Camera Trapper and help us reveal the hidden

Across our towns and cities, incredible wildlife is living right alongside us, often unseen or unnoticed. From badgers and hedgehogs to foxes and deer, these animals are adapting to urban life in fascinating ways. In fact, badgers in urban areas have become more common in recent decades, but there’s still so much we don’t know about their behaviour and conservation needs, simply because the data isn’t there.

​

That's where BrockWatch comes in. Our new citizen science project is designed to uncover the hidden lives of badgers, while also capturing valuable insights into the other mammals sharing our gardens and green spaces. By taking part, you’ll be helping us build a clearer picture of where badgers live, how they move through our towns and cities, and how we can better protect them for the future.

 

​Whether you’re a wildlife lover, a curious beginner, or a seasoned spotter, your input makes a real difference. Together, we can shine a light on the secret lives of our urban neighbours.
