Title: Hedgehogs in Ealing – risks, opportunities and how we all can help
Speaker: Andrea Bugari

Hedgehogs are “vulnerable to extinction” in the UK, so this talk looks at their situation in Ealing and outlines how residents can help them. We will also share general hedgehog knowledge about things such as food, hibernation, nesting and mating – all in an interactive and engaging way. The talk ends with some hedgehog rescue stories, featuring the many tasks of the local hedgehog rescue; Ealing Hedgehog Friends.

Andrea Bugari is the founder and chair of Ealing Hedgehog Friends. After semi-retiring from her original job in leadership development, she used her organisational skills to engage and train a group of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers. Andrea is Swiss and has lived in Ealing for 24 years.
