Hedgehogs are an iconic British species, but becoming increasingly rare due to habitat fragmentation and the use of chemicals in the agricultural and urban landscape. Simple changes to the way we garden can make a big difference to the fortunes of this lovely creature.
Views: 1020 | Enquiries: 11As a child growing up on a farm in Sussex I developed a passion for nature and the environment. After leaving school I went on to study for a BSc in Environmental Biology, followed by a PhD in Microbial Ecology where I developed a love for medieval re-enactment and cooking. Since then I have spent 17 years as a Biology teacher inspiring the next generation to develop a life-long love of learning and biology, whilst continuing to expand my own sphere of scientific understanding and interest. I currently continue to teach part time and advise friends and acquaintances on gardening, with a strong focus on sustainability and wildlife gardening. In my spare time I enjoy cooking for friends, watching history and archaeology documentaries, reading science fiction and fantasy novels and singing in my local choral society.
