Helping our Hedgehogs

About

Hedgehogs are facing huge decline in the UK and Cuckfield is no exception. Many people in the North of the village used to get hedgehogs nesting in their gardens every year but haven't had a prickly visitor for many years. This talk will focus on how to make Cuckfield a more hedgehog friendly village.

Emily is a gifted and experienced science communicator and she will highlight what we can do to help hedgehogs in our gardens and across the community, including an outline of the key threats to hedgehogs, some of her own research as well as an easy way to monitor hedgehog populations.

There will also be a stall from Hurst Hedgehog Haven selling hedgehog feeding stations and cards as well as homeware featuring the nation's favourite mammal. They will be raising money for the vital work they do to rescue local hedgehogs.
