We are so pleased to welcome Alison Middleton from the Hogscroft Hedgehog Rescue to speak about the story of her charity and her experiences with hedgehog rehabilitation! Alison launched her "hog hospital" in Perthshire back in 2023 and has devoted every minute since to caring for ill or injured hedgehogs, alongside a loyal network of volunteers. Those which cannot be released are kept in her hedgehog sanctuary in Inchture known as "Leo's Garden." If you'd like to learn more about her work, how to make your gardens safe and welcoming for hedgehogs, or what to do if you find an injured hedgehog, then join us for a fun and educational hedgehog-themed evening!
To start the night we will be holding a fundraising event for Hogscroft. As part of this, we are having a hedgehog fun fair (with a raffle, games, and prizes) and a hedgehog baking competition! The fun fair will run from 18:00-19:30, and the hedgehog baking competition will be judged at 19:00. Anyone can enter the competition, just bring along your hedgehog-themed baked goods to Sandison Hall for a chance to win a hedgehog goodie bag from Hogscroft!
After the fundraising event, Alison will give her presentation, and there will be time for a Q&A at the end of the night.
Come to one or come to both. There is no need to book if you only want to come for the fundraising event, but if you would like to stay for the talk please book via Eventbrite!
This is our third Natural Narratives event of the 2025-2026 season. Sessions will run on the last Friday of each month from September to March (excluding December). Our aim is to bring our community together during the long, dark winter months to engage in educational activities and discussions focused on environmental topics.
