How to keep a Hedgehog Happy!
Join us to hear Joanne Gilbert MSc - Founder, WildChiswick talk about hedgehogs on Saturday 14 September 12.15-1.15.
Who wouldn’t want to make a hedgehog happy? Joanne will explain the life of a hedgehog and the problems faced, particularly in an urban environment. Most importantly, she will explain what we can do to help this threatened species survive.
There are indeed lots of ways we help we can help, even if we do not have a garden of our own. Joanne will share with us the work her community group has done so far for hedgehogs in Chiswick. Come along and learn about hedgehogs and why they are so special! We know they are in Chiswick and Barnes so let’s try to get them thriving in Kew.
Joanne has an MSc in Animal Behaviour and volunteered at a Wildlife Rescue for 4 years. She was Secretary of Devon Mammal Group and upon moving to Chiswick she set up a community group called WildChiswick. Joanne has also written a children’s book which teaches children what hedgehogs need in a garden to live happily.
