About this Event
Hedgehogs are sadly in decline. One of the key things we can do to help is to create 'hedgehog highways', providing them with safe routes to travel at night. Join us to find out how a scheme has got up and running in an Oxfordshire village and how we can apply the learning locally.
The UK hedgehog population has suffered a dramatic decline over the last 10 years. Critical to hedgehog conservation in urban environments is their ability to move through a wider landscape. Stephen Powles will describe how his brother, Chris, inspired the villagers of Kirtlington to take an interest in their hedgehogs and how they went on to create a “Hedgehog Superhighway” of interconnected gardens. Chris will be present to answer questions.
Formerly a vet, Stephen changed career to pursue a lifelong passion for wildlife, wildlife photography, filming and conservation.
