Apparently it is possible to close badger setts down in certain circumstances - without harming the badgers. I listened to a short talk last week and this course of action is sometimes taken if a sett is on land due to be developed. A sort of gate is fixed over the entrances so the badgers can get out but not back in again. It is never undertaken during the breeding period.

My inclination is to let EKLB be, do we really need to know everything about everything?
