In Britain many hedgehogs are killed, injured or orphaned every day and the hedgehog population of the UK has dropped from around 30 million
in the 1950s to around 1 million today. British hedgehogs are Red Listed and now officially classified as vulnerable to extinction.

Pickering Hedgehog Rescue is dedicated to caring for hedgehogs in the Pickering area of North Yorkshire.

From March to the end of August, a hedge is not a garden boundary. It is a building in full use.Blackbirds nest from March. Blackcaps, chaffinches, and dunnocks follow through April and May. Cutting a hedge during this window does not trim the hedge β€” it destroys active nests with eggs or chicks inside. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is a criminal offence in England and Wales to intentionally damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while it is in use or being built.Hedgehogs give birth in May and June, frequently tucking a nest into the dense base of an established hedge. A single pass of a hedge trimmer can destroy an entire litter.Bumblebees nest in the ground at the base of hedges and forage heavily on elder, hawthorn, and bramble β€” everything a mixed hedge provides through summer. Pipistrelle bats use dense hedge sections as roosting and commuting cover from dusk onwards.After August, you can cut β€” but leave some sections uncut each year for winter roosting cover, and never cut the whole length in a single season.A hedge cut in nesting season is just a fence. A hedge left alone from March to August is a working ecosystem. πŸŒΏπŸ¦”πŸ¦‡πŸŒΈ#HedgerowWildlife #WildlifeFriendlyGarden #NoMowMay #BritishWildlife ... See MoreSee Less

This is little Toni, she only weighs 300g. Unfortunately she had been strimmed, she was found and brought in on Saturday evening. On arrival her wound was packed with large maggots. She was given fluids, pain meds, antibiotics and all the maggots removed before going to Ryedale Vets for her surgery. So far so good, she is eating well. Toni also has internal parasites which she is having treatment for. She is such a cutie! Thank you Ryedale Vets for making time for her. If you would like to contribute towards her vet bill and treatment our bank details are :- Sort Code 54-41-24 Account Number 51873273 Pickering Hedgehog Rescue, business account. Thank you. ...
