Hedgehog House Give Away

Our Hedgehog House give away back in November 2020 was a great success. In total ENGIE gave away a total of 14 hedgehog houses to 8 primary schools, 5 charities and 1 home schooling group.

Sadly our countries hedgehogs are rapidly declining, so these hedgehog houses were used to educate young people about the importance of our wildlife and ecosystems and why they are vital to our environment.

We had a great response from many of the places that received our hedgehog houses and it sounds like the students had lots of fun learning about them.

Sunnybank Primary School - The Learning Mentor & Forest School Leader was very excited and keen to find a special place for the house within the school's outdoor area. It was used to educate children in the forest school session.

Creepy Claws Animal Sanctuary - Children within the After-School Club learnt about hedgehogs and turned the hedgehog house into a suitable habitat.

Brogdale Farm Faversham - The horticultural students put the home out at Brogdale Farm and they are pretty sure that there is already a hedgehog in the house after they made it into a suitable habitat.
