Do your bit for the British Wildlife.

The RSPCA receives hundreds of calls every year to rescue wildlife which has become tangled in netting, football nets or fishing litter.

Forms of garden netting, [such as that for] pond or fruit, can be a real hazard to wild animals like Hedgehogs and birds, and the RSPCA  would recommend replacing them with solid metal mesh.

If you spot an animal which is trapped, in distress, or in need of help, contact the RSPCA’s 24-hour cruelty line on 0300 1234 999

Hedgehogs should now be going into hibernation. 

Foxes are  regularly sighted and help to keep the vermin population down.

All our straw and manure comes from the  Donkey Sanctuary.
