Haslingfield Village Society Talk: Tuesday 17th October at 8:00 PM, Haslingfield Village Hall
Under Threat but Being Saved: The work of the Shepreth Hedgehog Hospital
The ‘common’ hedgehog is under threat from human caused changes to their natural habitat. The Hedgehog Hospital at Shepreth treats and rehabilitates hedgehogs before release back into the wild. Their second aim is to educate people about hedgehog conservation and show how easy it is to help hedgehogs in the local environment.
The talk will contain some practical ideas about how to make your garden hedgehog friendly and will cover the work they do using photographs and videos.
Judith Large, a retired lecturer, was initially concerned about having a lot of spare time. That all changed on the day she found a hedgehog in her garden took it to Shepreth and asked if they needed any help!
