FRIENDS OF THE HEDGEHOGS

This is an introduction to Hornbeam Wood Hedgehog Sanctuary. Briefly going through what we do and the troubles hedgehogs face. This video has been cut from a Live Stream so has a few bits where I refer to the live chat, sorry I'm just not that talented at video editing...yet...! --------------------------------------------------------------------- HORNBEAM WOOD HEDGEHOG SANCTUARY 🦔🐾🐾🐾🐾: A family run Charity that looks after European Wild Hedgehogs. We use 100% of income generated from our shop and from donations to help the hedgehogs. Setup in April 2015, based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. Mother and son are involved on a daily basis rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing hedgehogs back in to the wild. The Charity rehabilitates wild hedgehogs and hoglets that are sick, injured, underweight. Registered Charity No. 1190048 We hope to use this platform to spread awareness and help promote ways you can help British Wild 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

This is an update video/vlog for one of the projects we have recently complete, the "Hogs Hospital". This hospital has a lot of equipment inside that had been very kindly funded by Frances from Frizknits. We also had a huge amount of help from another volunteer called Mike who spends a great deal of time helping us at the Sanctuary.​ PLEASE NOTE: This is an unedited, unscripted, full recording, please excuse any "ummm's" and "eeerrr's". I usually record on the fly without too much thought behind what I'm going to talk about. I also talk to my dog Fern most of the time and it's generally a one sided conversation with the odd bark here and there :P --------------------------------------------------------------------- HORNBEAM WOOD HEDGEHOG SANCTUARY 🦔🐾🐾🐾🐾: A family run Charity that looks after European Wild Hedgehogs.

This is our brand new Hedgehog Educational and Awareness Shelter at Hornbeam Wood Hedgehog Sanctuary. Very kindly made possible through a grant from The Harpenden Trust will be used to help educate the next generation on how they can help our Wild Hedgehogs. We hold educational and awareness visits for local Scouts and Girlguiding groups with both talks and practical exercises on how they can help the hedgehogs. This shelter will allow the children to stay dry out of the weather when we host these talks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- HORNBEAM WOOD HEDGEHOG SANCTUARY 🦔🐾🐾🐾🐾: A family run Charity that looks after European Wild Hedgehogs.

​Mike has been helping us with making new stand for the rehabilitation hutches. These look superb and we are chuffed to bits :) Thanks Mike! These hutches are used to home hedgehogs that are in rehabilitation at the Sanctuary. Normally temporary homes for 2-8 weeks then released back in to the wild.

A huge thank you to Mike for helping us with renewing all the outside hedgehog rehabilitation hutches at the sanctuary. We have fixed more than 40 of them which over the year were in need of repair. These hutches had been donated or kindly made by the local community for the hedgehogs we have in rehabilitation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- HORNBEAM WOOD HEDGEHOG SANCTUARY 🦔🐾🐾🐾🐾: A family run Charity that looks after European Wild Hedgehogs.

Hello everyone! We would like to create several wild hedgehog gardens to home special hedgehogs that we are unable to fully release back in to the wild. These hedgehogs are typically blind having endured very bad injuries to the head. If you were thinking of helping Charities this year and looking for ideas to help fundraise, we would love your help! We are hoping some lovely followers might help do some fundraising this year for one or more of our new wild hedgehog gardens to home blind hedgehogs at the sanctuary.
