An evening with Hugh Warwick, conservationist, hedgehog lover, author and thought-provoker.

Hugh Warwick is well known for his interesting, entertaining and often thought-provoking talks. Whether he is talking about his favourite animal – the hedgehog, the importance of habitat connectivity for wildlife, or the more controversial aspects of wildlife conservation, you can never quite be sure where Hugh’s talk will take you.

Hugh is a spokesperson for the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and has worked for over 25 years to protect hedgehogs across Britain.

Hugh has written several books which include A Prickly Affair – about his conservation work with hedgehogs, Linescapes – exploring how the lines we have created across our countryside can fragment, yet also reconnect wildlife habitats, and his latest and controversial book – Cull of the Wild, which investigates the difficult question of whether culling wildlife can be justified in the name of conservation.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available on arrival, plus a raffle. Visit wildchiswick.com for more information.
