A message from Hedgehog Friendly Campus:
The University’s Hedgehog Friendly Campus initiative is well underway. Hedgehog Friendly Campus is a national initiative sponsored by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society to create a supportive environment for a much beloved yet declining species. We are striving for “Bronze” Accreditation by completing a number of goals such as building hedgehog houses, raising awareness, and doing surveys. If you are interested in joining, more volunteers are always welcome and you can do so by contacting environment@st-andrews.ac.uk.
Upcoming events currently include:
- March 6-7th: Litter Pick: a litter picking session timed for the end of hibernation for our local hedgehogs! Event link: https://www.facebook.com/events/430844788149363
- March 16th 6pm: HFC Launch Event which will include speakers from two amazing hedgehog campaigns. Jo Wilkinson, the founder of Hedgehog Friendly Campus, will be introducing the HFC initiative, while Kirsty Crawford from Hogwatch is discussing the current threats hedgehogs face, and ways to help them. There will also be a fun quiz! https://www.facebook.com/events/1163047914165976
