Why hedgehogs?

“I have always loved hedgehogs and was most distressed to find them added to the British Wildllife endangered list. I decided to set up a Hedgehog Hospital in my garden working as a Volunteer Carer for the British Hedgehog Preservation Society. I really believe that we can reverse the decline in the hedgehog population in and around the Five Valleys, through education and managing hedgehog populations. We are setting up a hedgehog Warden in every village to help us. If you would like to help us , please contact volunteer@helpahedgehog.org.” - Annie Parfitt, Founder

 

School Helps with project

Thomas Keble Secondary School in Gloucestershire is also supporting the environmental project and Year 10 and 11 CoPE pupils are linking the endangered hedgehog to their environmental studies. The pupils chose the name for the Hospital. Pupils are currently working on creating a questionnaire mapping sightings of hedgehogs in Gloucestershire. They all enjoyed their close encounter with some of the hedgehogs at the Rescue Centre. Most of the pupils had never come face to face with a hedgehog before.
