Our Mission
To Reverse the Decline of the Hedgehog Population in Dorset
How We Deliver
- We provide a rescue service caring for sick, injured and orphaned hedgehogs.
- We rehabilitate the hedgehogs in our care and return them to the wild wherever possible.
- We ensure that the hedgehogs in our care receive the best care available using veterinary guidance and best practice.
- We inspire learning about the world of our native wild hedgehogs, encouraging everyone to discover what they can do to protect it.
- Increase public awareness about the decline in hedgehogs, the hazards they face, and to encourage children to respect hedgehogs and take an interest in hedgehogs.
- Assist in scientific and behavioural research as we are able.
- We encourage Dorset residents to adopt hedgehog friendly activities in their gardens.
- Provide training for green space managers, both council based and countryside contractors, in the ecology of Hedgehogs.
