Uist Hedgehog Rescue
Uist Hedgehog Rescue (UHR) is made up (alphabetically) of Advocates for Animals, British Hedgehog Preservation Society, Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Trust and International Animal Rescue. Together we organised a rescue when the Uist Wader Project (UWP) was killing hedgehogs. UWP is made up (alphabetically) of RSPB Scotland, the Scottish Executive, and Scottish Natural Heritage. During the rescues we saved many hedgehogs and relocated them safely to the mainland where they were released into the wild. The Uist Wader Project is no longer killing hedgehogs, instead it collects them and hands them to UHR for relocation. Since 2009 UWP has contributed towards the costs of relocation.

How can I help Uist Hedgehog Rescue?
Contact SNH expressing your disgust at the unnecessary killing of healthy hedgehogs on the Uists.
Ask that the hedgehogs be relocated to the mainland instead.
