| Anytime soon | Visit the Arboretum – the wildflower meadow is looking glorious and the mown paths through the long grass are very inviting! |
| Any time | Borrow a hedgehog monitoring tunnel for a couple of weeks to see if you have hedgehogs visiting your garden (and to get the cutest set of hedgehog footprints!). Tunnels come with all you need to get started. To borrow one email info@ovra.org.uk . If you see a hedgehog anywhere in the village (alive or dead) please let us know on the email above so we can add it to the Hedgehogs in Onslow Village Map. See the map so far. |
