Behold the badger! Join expert Stuart Edmunds to learn all about one of our largest mustelids.
Learn all about the interesting world of badgers, from their behaviour and eating habits to habitat needs and conflict with humans. Badgers are one of our largest mustelids but they act very differently to stoats, weasels and martens.
This course will delve into badger ecology to enable people to understand the species better and use that knowledge to successfully monitor badgers themselves.
