A huge round of applause is due to Gabriel for his incredible dedication to local wildlife! Gabriel and his family have been acting as temporary carers for a pair of rescue hedgehogs, charmingly named Quill and Hettie Hog. They'll be feeding and looking after the pair for two weeks before releasing them into their garden, with the hope of seeing tiny 'hoglets' exploring next year.

Demonstrating his passion, Gabriel even took on the task of building the hedgehogs' house and their release pen. Beyond his commitment to these spiky visitors, Gabriel is also doing his bit for the wider community by regularly litter picking after school to keep his local area safe for all wildlife. What a brilliant example of caring for nature! Well done, Gabriel!
