A prickly problem – and have you spied a spider?!

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust have launched a ‘Last Hedgehog in Staffordshire?’ campaign to raise awareness of the vulnerable plight of our prickly garden pals, whose numbers have sadly diminished dramatically over the years, with 95% of the population being lost since the 1950s.

Meanwhile, has your home been invaded by spiders over the last few weeks?  The Trust have certainly noticed an increase in reports.  They’ve produced a guide to the creepy-crawlies that may be looking for shelter in your home (shudder!) – https://www.staffs-wildlife.org.uk/spiders
