Hedgehog sightings

Keith - the hedgehog found in the Lathallan grounds

Hedgehogs are in a decline stage at the moment and have been for many years, The reasons for this decline is intensification of agriculture, habitat fragmentation and predation by badgers. There is not much we can do to help hedgehogs but what we can do is spread more awareness by taking pictures of hedgehogs and tagging the location of where the hedgehog has been spotted or be more aware of there surroundings.

If you are able to, you could leave food out for the hedgehog, or build a hedgehog house (pictured below)
