Lots of our reserves and surrounding areas are under water at the moment after all the storms we've been experiencing recently, which will not only have had an impact on wildlife but has also had a big influence on our work for wildlife.

Let's pray for no more rain! 💧💧💧

After the news of a pom-pom being mistaken for a baby hedgehog and then taken to Lower Moss Wood Wildlife Hospital to be looked after, Adam our Wilder Communities Manager wanted to show you what a hoglet looks like before it’s even hatched 🐣 🦔

Some of you may notice hedgehogs roaming around your gardens now that the weather has warmed up (slightly). 🦔☀️

Pam, our Admin Assistant has a camera set up in her garden and spotted one searching for food!
