Hedgehog Watch continues throughout June!
Have you seen a hedgehog?
The Hedgehog Heroes Here group need your help to collect important data to support this threatened species. We want to understand where our remaining local hedgehog populations are so that we can target efforts to create hedgehog highways, and encourage people living in these areas to take action.
Report your hedgehog sightings on our Hedgehog Watch Form or email details of your sighting to our Wildlife Officer on wildlife@framptoncotterell-pc.gov.uk.

The Community Nature Reserve is a joint project by Frampton Cotterell Nature and Frampton Cotterell Parish Council. From private gardens to public green spaces, we want to create a network of wildlife-friendly spaces across our local area.
