Hedgehog populations in the UK are declining at an alarming rate. We have lost around a third of our hedgehogs in the last 20 years and now hedgehogs are classified as an endangered species. Cambridge Hedgehogs is a charity to help hedgehogs.

QUICK NOTE: do not give hedgehogs a saucer of milk, it kills them! Water and meaty cat or dog food are good.

The Cambridgeshire Bat Group, a partner group of the Bat Conservation Trust, carry out batty research and conservation, and educate members of the public about how amazing bats are through public talks and events.
