London's hedgehogs are in trouble, with the city's population falling by nearly a third in ten years. We need to act fast to reverse this decline, and we need your help!
This autumn we're launching a new project called Urban Urchins, to ensure hedgehogs can survive and prosper across the capital. We will be running a series of surveys across London In September and October and are looking for volunteers to help us. If you would like to help out please email Emma on epooley@wildlondon.org.uk.

Please join us for our Members' Conference and Annual General Meeting 2017 on Saturday 23rd September at Redmond Community Centre, followed by a guided tour of Woodberry Wetlands and drinks at The Coal House Café.
Our members are the lifeblood of London Wildlife Trust, providing considerable financial support. The AGM is a chance to discover what your support has helped us to achieve over the last year, to learn about our plans for the future, to ask questions, and to meet staff and trustees. Anyone who wishes to attend must be a member, or must join before attending (you can join on the day itself).
We are also looking for two new trustees this year. Trustees perform a vital role, providing challenge and support to ensure that the Trust is legally compliant, acts for public benefit and is accountable for its actions. Trustees have a range of skills, from legal knowledge, financial acumen to volunteering knowledge.
If you think you have the skills to be a trustee for London Wildlife Trust please read the job description and complete and return the nomination form (both on the website) by 12.00 noon on Thursday 7th September.

We will be responding to his proposals and we would urge all our supporters to take part in the ongoing public survey - to have your say visit london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/
