Hedgehogs in the Highlands have found new friends in Adrian and Nicky Knight who have created Highland Hedgehogs.
With numbers on the decline the hedgehogs’ status was updated in June to Vulnerable to Extinction. These prickly little garden-dwellers have made it onto the Red List for British Mammals.
Nicky and Adrian have now had over 45 of the carnivorous little mammals taken to their croft for care and support. Adrian explained. . .
Hi there,
I’ve recently moved into the area and I am wondering if you need another volunteer? I have plenty of animal care experience and my last job (finished end of August 2021) was as a part time employee at The New Arc animal rescue, Auchnagatt, Ellon, Aberdeenshire.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Di Price.
Hi Di, thank you so much for your comment. I’ve passed on your message to Nicky Knight who runs the hedgehog rescue centre. I hope she will contact you soon. There’s another charity in the area that might interest you, Blue Highland bird rescue (info here) Best wishes, Silvia
