Badger gates in rabbit-proof fencing (TIN026)
|
|
Where rabbit-proof fencing cuts across badger runs, particularly near active setts, the badgers are likely to dig under or make holes in the netting, thus allowing rabbits to cross the fence. Careful positioning of badger gates where the netting crosses badger runs can help prevent damage to the fence, whilst still allowing badgers to carry on using these routes.
