About Us
Hedgehogs have undergone a dramatic decline across Britain. In 2013 Warwickshire Wildlife Trust launched the Help for Hedgehogs campaign in response to the worrying trend being seen across both Warwickshire and the country as a whole. The campaign aims to increase awareness of the plight of our hedgehogs and help people to understand the small changes that can be made to help their local hedgehog population.
In March 2015, thanks to generous funding from the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS), Warwickshire Wildlife Trust launched the UK’s first area designated for hedgehog conservation, Solihull Hedgehog Improvement Area (HIA). The HIA initiative was developed to engage, educate and empower local people within the project areas to help their hedgehogs by surveying local green space and importantly improving habitats and access for hedgehogs.
The pilot year of the initiative in Solihull has been a great success with large numbers of people engaging directly with the project. Thanks to funding from the BHPS, in April 2016 the initiative was expanded to include a new Rugby Hedgehog Improvement Area.
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust aims to protect and enhance wildlife, natural habitats and geology throughout Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull, and to encourage a greater awareness, appreciation and participation in all aspects of nature conservation and the environment.
We are the leading local conservation charity with over 23,000 members dedicated to supporting our vital work for nature conservation across the county.
