Upstairs @ The Jackson Foundation: The Badger Project

To accompany the exhibition Wildlives: Daily Encounters with the Animals of Cornwall, the Jackson Foundation will be using the upstairs gallery space to highlight the work of the Zoological Society of London and their community-led badger vaccination initiative here in Penwith; portraying the badgers and their habitat on Jackson’s home turf through a series of drawings, paintings and photographs.

The initiative aims to explore the use of badger vaccination as a promising solution to the spread of bovine TB in badgers. A solution that could prove beneficial for both Penwith’s farmers and our wildlife.
