Recently this company contacted the local badger group requesting advice on the current activity of a sett, which was close to a tree that had to be felled. As the local field officer for the group I attended the site. The operatives had recognised that there might be a problem should this sett be active. I could confirm that this one was not active at this time, although a little distance away there was a small, but active sett. We discussed how they would fell; they recognised the problems and what measures they needed to undertake to ensure that neither of the setts were damaged, keeping all debris away from any entrances. They carried out the work exactly as they described. Their attitude to their work was a refreshing change, professional, but together with a consideration towards wildlife. Not all companies do this. Highly recommended.
