- **Event Name**: Hedgehog Hero: Nature on Your Doorstep
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 23 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Mon, 23 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Award-winning filmmaker Dylan Allman shares how a tiny garden hedgehog sparked a movement helping wildlife and communities thrive.

Join Dylan Allman, Hedgehog Champion and founder of the HedgehogAware campaign, for a lively 45‑minute online session exploring what hedgehogs can teach us about building safer, greener and more connected communities. Starting from the moment he spotted hedgehogs in his South Wales garden during lockdown, Dylan will share how a personal passion for wildlife turned into national media attention, award‑winning films and practical action that helps nature – and people – to flourish.

This webinar sits within the Nature Secure and Nature Smart projects, part of a national programme that connects diverse voices with conversations about nature, environmental challenges and innovation. You’ll come away with fresh ideas for how local spaces, from back gardens to community greens, can support biodiversity, wellbeing and resilience to climate and nature risks.

​What Dylan will cover:
Why hedgehogs are in trouble in the UK and what this means for biodiversity, neighbourhoods and our shared environment.

The story behind HedgehogAware: from first hedgehog sightings and home camera traps to creating the award‑winning film “The Wonderful World of Hedgehogs”.

How simple changes – like checking before you strim or mow, creating “Hedgehog Highways” in fences and rethinking garden machinery – can prevent injuries and help wildlife move safely through our streets.

Examples of partnering with businesses and communities, including getting “Be Hedgehog Aware” stickers onto new garden machinery, and supporting more hedgehog‑friendly fencing in new developments.

How stories, campaigns and youth leadership can inspire wider community conversations about nature, risk and resilience as part of Nature Secure and Nature Smart.

Why attend:
Hear directly from a young environmental leader whose grassroots campaign now influences companies, community groups and national audiences.

Discover practical, low‑cost actions you can take in gardens, school grounds and local green spaces to make life safer for hedgehogs and other wildlife.​

Explore how talking about an animal everyone loves can open up bigger conversations about climate, nature loss, safety and belonging where you live.​

Get ideas you can feed into your own Nature Secure and Nature Smart activities, from community workshops to local campaigns.​

Who it’s for:
Community groups, charities, youth leaders and volunteers involved in the Nature Secure and Nature Smart projects, or interested in joining future activity.​

Residents, gardeners, educators and green‑space volunteers who want to make their local places friendlier for wildlife and people.

Anyone curious about how a single species – and one determined teenager – can spark wider change for nature and communities.

Delivered live via webinar, with simple joining instructions emailed after registration.

This event is delivered by ALP Synergy as part of the Nature Secure and Nature Smart strands of the national Connecting Communities with Nature programme, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
