Keele Hedgehog Friendly Campus

If you see a hedgehog on campus, please report it on the 'Big Hedgehog Map'! We'll be surveying for hedgehogs on campus across 2023, and please do visit the wildflower meadow as it starts to bloom over the upcoming spring and summer months. #HogFriendly #TeamWilder

I’m working on a @SCASuk funded project which explores views on pet friendly university spaces & implications of pet presence/absence on student mental health & wellbeing. If you’re a part of the @KeeleUniversity community, please complete the survey 🐾 forms.office.com/r/t5fe1br8pA RT

Cathy Forbes, Student Experience & Support Officer for the @KeeleMedSchool, has completed the Potters ‘Arf Marathon on Sunday 12 June 2022 to raise funds for a charity close to her heart @hedgehogsociety who help hedgehogs also fund the @HogFriendly!🦔🐾 #PottersArf

Our next North #Staffordshire Wounded Badger Patrol taster walk will be this coming Sunday (6th March), 11am, near Betley. DM me for meet-up info! #StopTheCull #BadgerMonday @KeeleWildlife @staffsABC @Staffsbadgers @Sotlive @BBCRadioStoke @staffssabs

Can you spot the wonderful wildlife hide on the edge Keele's lake? Or is it too hidden 🧐 @KeeleWildlife #KeeleWildlifeHide #LoveKeele

As the weather (hopefully) turns nicer, we will be able to do more so your ideas gratefully received!

We've just had a committee meeting to discuss a few events we have lined up but, before we schedule something you aren't interested in, what is it that you want to do? Please reply to this, message us, email us...

A nice welcome back to the Keele Uni patch, from 4 Hawfinch, after my weekend away. Such charismatic birds. @DWEmley10 @KeeleWildlife

We will meet at 10.30am by Lake 5. Biscuits provided but please bring your own lunch and drinks. Also remember to wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy/paint-y. More info can be found at keelesu.com/events/7153/64… or email Alicia (x1i53@students.keele.ac.uk)

Just a reminder that there is a one-off chance to help build a wildlife hide on campus tomorrow (Friday). No prior experience necessary & a range of jobs to suit your abilities ranging from wielding a paint brush to using a screwdriver or taking your frustrations out with a spade

It's nearly time 🙌

The government's war on wildlife is being waged in the fields of #Staffordshire (and across the cull zones) ... and people are out in force defending the badgerlands. @Sotlive @Signal1Official @BBCRadioStoke @BurtonMailNews @KeeleWildlife @Staffsbadgers

The main attraction around Keele the past few days has been insects rather than birds, with 2x Southern Hawkers & a Common Darter in the garden yesterday and a Purple Hairstreak by the solar farm this morning. @DWEmley10 @KeeleWildlife

My first Keele record of Essex Skipper on my morning walk around campus, plus a rather obliging Hare. @KeeleWildlife @DWEmley10
