Hedgehogs!
2 hedgehogs (Alan and Birch) were re-wilded in Tramway Park, just next to our Wild Garden. This is great news for the biodiversity of our local area!

After being discovered close to school, Alan, who was looking a bit unwell and confused, was passed to an organisation called Jacksons Animal Rescue, based on the Wirral. They look after poorly hedgehogs and help them recover so they can be re-wilded back into their local habitat.
Jacksons were very keen to reach out to the Hog Allies at our school, as we are now a Hedgehog Habitat School! Greer, one of the experts at Jacksons, came into school, to meet our children and to open their eyes to the lives of these very special and increasingly rare little creatures.

In return, many of our Hog Ally Families made generous contributions of wet cat-food and old newspapers. These will be used to feed the poorly hogs and will provide bedding for them to burrow into.
