In 2018 Shepreth Wildlife Conservation Charity (SWCC) approved Glatton as a rehoming site for injured & orphaned Hedgehogs. The State of Britain’s Hedgehogs 2022 report reveals hedgehogs have declined by between 30% – 75% across different areas of the countryside since 2000. The largest declines are seen in the eastern half of England. Fay Vass, CEO of The British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) explains: "Greater awareness, and individual and community actions, such as making gardens more hedgehog friendly, may be starting to help urban hedgehogs. However, urgent action is needed to understand why rural areas are no longer suitable for hedgehogs, and how conservationists, farmers and land managers can work together to prevent hedgehogs from becoming extinct in the countryside.” Glatton has taken part in many rehoming initiatives over the years & to help support those interested & those who have rehomed the Hedgehogs, HogBlog was set up to follow the progress of the new spikey little residents of Glatton & offer support for the new 'parents'.
