Everyone loves a hedgehog and we are lucky to have some of our prickly friends in Wimborne. Unfortunately ‘hogs have suffered a huge decline across the UK, and desperately need a bit of help! Enter Susy and Colin Varndell from Dorset Mammal Group! They have been helping hedgehogs and other mammals across Dorset for many years, and gave a lively and informative talk on the evening of Wednesday 30th April to 46 local hedgehog enthusiasts. Everyone present shared a passion to help our ‘hogs and the evening was a great way to kick start our ambition to make Wimborne a hedgehog friendly town. Our first ‘job’ is to map where hedgehogs have been spotted so that we can raise awareness of what we can all do to help.
If you would like to get involved in improving ‘the lot’ of our ‘hogs and help make Wimborne a hedgehog friendly town, please email Mitch at hedgehogfriendlywimborne@btinternet.com.
