Rabbit fencing may again become an essential protection to new planting. Where badgers occur in large numbers and fence-lines (particularly new ones), cut across their runs, especially in the vicinity of setts, holes are likely to be torn in the netting by the badgers. They may also excavate underneath fences if the soil is suitable. It has been found that careful, progressive erection of a badger gate at the time the fence is erected-can prevent physical damage by badgers to the fence.
