Big thanks to the 2 Brereton Heath LNR 'regulars' who found this poor little hedgehog in a rather unhappy state on one of the paths recently. The fact it was out in the open, in daylight, suggests things aren't quite right! The little character was taken to a wildlife rescue centre for some help.

Bollin Valley Ranger Emma & some brilliant corporate volunteers recently completed a new wetland scrape at The Carrs in Wilmslow. This was a part of a funded grant scheme through our friends at the Mersey Rivers Trust. We have already seen plenty of frogs, toads and dragonflies checking them out!🐸
