The Devon Wildlife Warden

Help save Elm Hedgehog Rescue! In this episode, I speak to Rick, founder and manager of the centre about why they might have to close their doors this year and what will happen to their hedgehogs if they do. We also talk about the danger of rat poison, saving a buzzard on the A38 and what you might be able to do to help save the centre. We also say goodbye to our Coordinator Flavio and welcome Vicky, who has taken over from him.   ACT's Wildlife Warden Scheme is run by the Action on Climate in Teignbridge (www.actionclimateteignbridge.org) Ecology Group.
