LEGACY WEEK

                     JERSEY HEDGEHOG PRESERVATION GROUP

Hedgehogs are one of the  most iconic creatures you are likely to come across in Jersey, helping to keep down pests in our gardens, and enhancing our countryside.

They have to overcome more and more obstacles to survive here, habitat loss due to development, the biannual hedge cutting for the branchage, and our changing climate.

 Hotter, drier summers make it harder to find food and raise their young.
Warmer, wetter winters mean they may not hibernate.

For over thirty years, the Jersey Hedgehog Preservation Group has been there to help sick, orphaned and injured animals. Up until now it has been run by volunteers, but we have to look to the future, to ensure we keep going despite the rising costs of food, medicines and veterinary care.

Please think of us as you prepare your wishes for the future.
