Have you ever seen a badger abseil?
A massive Thank You to our badger, aka Johanne, who took part in the Twilight Abseil at Belfast Castle. It was a miserable evening, but the mist and rain wouldn't stop a badger on a mission, and it didn't stop Johanne.
The sponsorship money raised by Johanne will support our Brockwatch project. We are extremely grateful to Johanne and to all our supporters who help us continue to protect these iconic animals.
