Founded in April 2015 and rescuing wildlife since the 1980s. The Charity rehabilitates Wild Hedgehogs which are sick, injured, underweight, or need help. Over the last six years we have rescued, rehabilitated, and released over 1000 injured or orphaned hedgehogs. Over 300 Hedgehogs were released back in to the wild in 2021. Based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, we cover Harpenden and the surrounding areas. We hope to use this platform to spread awareness and help promote ways you can help British Wild Hedgehogs. We use 100% of donations to help the hedgehogs.

The Wild British Hedgehog has been included in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List for British Mammals. Their population has decreased by about 30% in urban areas and 50% in rural areas since the year 2000. As of 2020, it is estimated (PTES) that up to 335k hedgehogs are killed each year on the roads. Their habitats have been diminishing and their inability to access and travel though gardens and across roads has become in most cases, impossible. Roads create invisible barriers and also physical barriers for hedgehogs. The use of poisons like slug pellets, and intensive agricultural farming also have a part to play in their decreased populations though the loss of hedges and pesticides. --------------------------------------------------------------------- #hedgehog #cam #hoglets #wild #ukmammals #hwhs #hedgehogsanctuary #harpenden #hertfordshire #charity

Big release day for Rise, Prickle, and Helen#2! These three hedgehogs came in from a rescue Oct 2022 as orphaned hoglets each around 150g. At that weight during the winter season they would not have made it through hibernation. Prickle was overwintered at the sanctuary with Rise and Helen#2 being kindly overwintered by Lauren (one of our volunteers). They were released at weights of 700-820g so all ready for the adventures ahead :) A big thank you to Helen Qunet for calling in the rescues late 2022.

This poor hedgehog is from Redbourn and was rescued after being found entangled in netting. The people who called in the rescue did a great job at removing most of the netting after becoming trapped and stuck. We removed the rest which was entangled under the hedgehogs body. A successful rescue and was released soon after back in to the wild :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- HORNBEAM WOOD HEDGEHOG SANCTUARY 🦔🐾🐾: The Charity is a family run operation with help from the local community with mother and son are involved on a daily basis.
