Happy bonfire night for tomorrow!🎇

We're posting a day earlier to share some tips on how to keep hedgehogs safe whilst you plan for your bonfires🔥

Here's just a few!

- Build bonfires on the day
- Shine a torch and look through the bonfire before lighting it
- Look and listen for signs of wildlife
- Ensure it is contained

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Once you're finished with your pumpkins after today, please do not dispose of it outside on the floor.

Unfortunately hedgehogs and their bellies do not agree with pumpkins. It can make them feel poorly as they cannot digest it! In a time when they are trying to gain weight for hibernation, this can be detrimental.

Please leave any spare pumpkin up high for the birds instead. 🐦

Have a spook-tastic night!

Meet Parsley, one of the hedgehogs that calls Newton Park campus home! 🦔👋

Parsley got into a spot of bother recently and had to go to the hogspital - but he’s now back to full health and has been released onto campus ready for hibernation season.

Read Parsley’s story and find out more about how we’re a Hedgehog Friendly Campus in our latest blog post!

We will be conducting hedgehog surveys on Wednesday the 28th of September at Newton Park and Corston Community Orchard to discover how many hedgehogs we have in our community!

Parsley was discovered this summer after he got himself into a spot of bother with a net and we would like to get a better idea of how many hogs may be out there!

Come along to Twinhoe (TEG04) at 11 am on Wednesday morning for basic training in Hedgehog Sampling and an overview of our hedgehog work at Bath Spa. We will also be taking a trip to Corston Community Orchard to sample hedgehogs in the local area! (Please be aware, the orchard is a 30-minute walk from the university through fields and rough ground, please wear suitable footwear)

These surveys will help us in our bid for Gold in the Hedgehog Friendly Campus awards!

If you have any questions or would like more information, please email [email protected]

With wall to wall sunshine and more to come it's especially important to remember to leave out water for wildlife, it can literally save lives in this hot dry weather. Pop a few pebbles in to allow insects to escape should they fall in.

From British Hedgehog Preservation Society - You may have seen in the news that West Berkshire Council has blocked an attempt by Newbury Town Council to have hedgehog highways as part of the planning conditions for developments in the town. West Berkshire Council claiming this will overburden planners.
Please sign the petition to let them know this is not the right decision!

Happy Hedgehog Awareness Week! 🦔

This week we will be celebrating British Hedgehogs and what we have done at BSU so far to help them thrive. But what is Hedgehog Awareness Week and why does it matter? Head over to our Instagram!

Hedgehog Awareness Week is an annual event, hosted by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (who is 40 this year!)🥳

It aims to increase awareness of the troubles British Hedgehogs face and what we can do to help. Unfortunately British Hedgehogs are classed as vulnerable to extinction.

BHPS also has an annual fundraiser, to support its charitable activities, which includes funding Hedgehog Friendly Campus! You can find the link here: www.justgiving.com/campaign/HAW22
