HEDGEHOG AWARD Calling all wildlife enthusiasts! Why not earn an award as you complete different activities and explore nature in new ways? The hedgehog award is a great way to develop your skills and knowledge whilst also helping your local wildlife. Have fun with your friends and family by completing eight nature-inspired activities. From spotting wildlife to getting crafty, there’s something for everyone to try. You can choose which activities you would like to do, with some suggestions below to help get you started. Still stuck for ideas? Head to www. wildlifewatch.org.uk/activities for more inspiration. Keep a record of the eight activities you complete, using the downloadable hedgehog award card from the website if you wish. Ask a parent or carer to let us know how you got on, via the form on the website www. wildlifewatch.org.uk/hedgehog-award. You’ll then receive your certificate to print out and keep! ©Katrina Martin/2020VISION ©Caroline Fitton ©Katrina Martin/2020VISION WHAT IS THE HEDGEHOG AWARD? WHICH ACTIVITIES SHOULD I DO? HOW DO I COMPLETE THE AWARD? HELP SPOT INVESTIGATE CREATE Try an activity that gives wildlife a helping hand. Perhaps you could make your own bird feeder, build a bug hotel or even just work on leaving a patch in your garden to grown wild! Take a look at the spotter sheets on our website and see which ones you can tick off. It’s a great way to get to know your local wildlife! We’ve got all sorts of fun activity sheets for you to try - from making butterfly prints and salt dough leaf tiles, to creating your own forest guardian. Time to get crafty! These activities help you get a closer look at nature to learn more about what goes on. You could make a tumble trap to find minibeasts, or start a nature table to investigate your wildlife finds. Find your local Wildlife Trust sites by heading to www.wildlifetrusts.org/nature-reserves
