We’ve signed up to the Hedgehog Preservation Societies campaign to become a ‘Hedgehog Friendly Campus’. Did you know that hedgehog populations are estimated to have declined up to 50% since 2000! The hedgehog is now officially vulnerable to extinction in the UK!
We want to do everything we can to support these little critters so we’ll be making changes across our campuses to make them more hog friendly and running campaigns to raise awareness.
We will be working with the grounds maintenance team to become hedgehog first aiders and improve our practices to prevent injuries to the hogs (and other wildlife). We’ll build some hedgehog homes and take hedgehog surveys at Harrow and Chiswick campuses, which everyone can get involved with!
If you want to help take part in hedgehog surveys, building hedgehog homes, raising awareness or want to know more about what we are doing then get in touch with sustainability@westminster.ac.uk or keep any eye on our social media pages for upcoming events
