Come along on our morning hedgehog walk on Barnes Common, led by the founder of Barnes Hedgehogs, Michel Birkenwald, and find out everything you wanted to know about hedgehogs.

Michel will tell you how the Barnes Hedgehog Highway was started, sharing his experience in discovering and helping our local hedgehogs. Learn about the secret life of hedgehogs including the best snacks to feed them, where do they all go in winter, and how you can you help hedgehogs and other wild animals in your garden.

Please note: because hedgehogs are nocturnal, it is unlikely that you will see a hedgehog during this walk. You will, however, hear many stories about them, and explore their territory.

This easy walk is approximately an hour and a half long and will start and finish at the Vine Road Pavilion on Vine Road.

This walk takes place outdoors and as such please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear.

If the weather is warm, you may wish to bring a bottle of water.
