This has been the most difficult thing I've ever done. But one hedgehog house made! @HedgehogCabin

[Georgie @GeorgieConserv2]

Hey @HedgehogCabin ! Could you please remind me what hay is safest for our hedgehog house?

[Georgie @GeorgieConserv2]

I'm looking to do volunteer surveys or habitat work this season in Sussex. Now my job is more desk based I'm keen to get out. If anyone has ideas or opportunities please let me know!

I have my GCN licence and have done camera trapping.

@MathewsFiona @vincentwildlife @_BCT_ Hey Fiona! This looks amazing, I'm very interested and I am working on my application. I'm slightly worried that because I've only just seen it, that academic references may be an issue?

Does anyone else keep a Newt spreadsheet? My first survey was April 2021 and this is my total so far (although I have a few survey sheets missing). Would love to know if others do this and what theirs looks like!

It's always a good day when it starts with a Weasel!

@Young_Nudger @CIEEMnet I was a field surveyor last year so I'll actually be in the field less this year! But last year was very hectic
