Submission for Hedgehog Friendly Campus Bronze

We have now submitted our first accreditation towards the Keele Hedgehog Friendly Campus Bronze Award!!

What the Keele Hedgehog Team have done so far...

• 7th November 2019 - Launch Working Group
• Welcoming staff and students from all faculties and backgrounds!
• We have formed social medias' including Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HedgehogFriendlyCampusKeele/ ) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/KeeleWildlife )  
• We have reminded the grounds team on what to do if they find a sick, injured or orphaned hedgehog.
• We've added stickers to the strimmers and some leaf blowers to remind users to check the area for hedgehogs before trimming the grass.
• Plans are in place to perform hedgehog surveys around campus in early Spring.
• We have done regular student litter picks too - if any staff have done litter picks we would love to know (soc.wildlife@keele.ac.uk).
• We will frequently write HogBlogs which can be found on the News section here - https://keelesu.com/activities/society/keelewildlifesociety/
