Badger

Badger

Badgers are generally nocturnal, but, in remote areas with no human encroachment, they are routinely observed foraging during the day. They prefer open areas with grasslands, which can include parklands, farms, and treeless areas with crumbly soil and a supply of rodent prey.

Badgers are born blind, furred, and helpless. Their eyes open at four to six weeks.

Latin name: Taxidea taxus

Make Your Voice Heard For Public Lands

Each day Oregon’s elected leaders and the appointed officials who head land management agencies make decisions about how our lands are managed. They need to hear your voice on these important issues.

Here is our advice for connecting with these decision-makers.

Make it relevant and personal—remind them that you’re a constituent and tell them why public lands are important to important to you personally and to other people in their district or state.

Don’t forget the ask—your request can be general, like “please stand up for public lands and make sure they stay in public hands,” or better yet, refer to a specific bill or issue you’re concerned about.

Here is their contact information.
