Section Leader - Dennis Dungey
Known throughout the county as 'badger man' for his wonderful talks on badgers, Dennis is the backbone of NEEBG. He became a member of the Essex Badger protection group back in September 1989 when that group appealed for members to start a Colchester and Harwich section. In 1991, that section split away to become the North East Essex badger group. He was duly elected as Chairman, and remained in that position until 1997!
He served for two years as a Trustee of the National Federation of badger groups in the position of Chairman of the Roads & Develpoment Committee.
For the last couple of years, he has very kindly come out of his 'retirement' to run the Colchester and Tendring section.
Throughout his time working with badgers, he has held several DEFRA and English Nature licences where it has been necessary to disturb or remove badgers from their sett.
