Funded by Western Power Distribution, the project sees children find out about hedgehogs through interactive talks given by the Trust's team, and of course, they get to meet a live hedgehog.
Avon Wildlife Trust's Learning Development Officer Julie Doherty said: "Hedgehogs are fascinating creatures and children love to find out more about them.
"We are delighted that thanks to the support of Western Power Distribution we have been able to offer schools in low income areas free half-day interactive talks, games and other activities, on a fabulous hedgehog theme."

“Here I am!
I would like to point out that we do not use the specieist word "*****ly". We prefer "spinaceous"; it is the 21st century, after all.”
