The Lancashire Badger Group is a registered charity which is dedicated to the conservation and enjoyment of the protected Eurasian/European Badger (Meles meles) in the county of Lancashire.

As a Member of the Badger Trust, we are dedicated to the conservation and enjoyment of the Badger in the county of Lancashire in England. Here are some of the things we do:
- We publish a regular Newsletter about what we do, and what issues affect badgers across the UK.
- We provide information about the badger and education to members of the public.
- We provide talks to schools, colleges and community groups to explain about what badgers look and sound like and how they live their lives. We also have preserved examples of badgers for people to look at if they have never seen one.
- We provide a householder service, to advise gardeners who have badgers in their gardens.
- We keep a register of badger setts, to help keep badgers safe and their homes protected.
- We provide a Badger Survey service – providing information from our database, as well as looking for badger evidence on the ground. We do this for a very modest donation.
- We liaise with Lancashire Police as expert witnesses if criminals damage setts, injure or kill badgers or commit other animal-related crime. We support the Prosecution of wildlife criminals.
- We also have a Badger Hide in the heart of the countryside, so members and the public can watch badgers in summer evenings.
