Today I spent the morning volunteering at my local Wildlife Hospital!
The Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital rescues, cares, rehabilitates and release wild animals 24 hours a day!
Today I spent the morning with another volunteer, cleaning out and feeding all of the hedgehogs!
A lot of the hedgehogs that are in at the moment, are this years babies! Some have been injured by strimmers, found on the side of the road or abandoned by their mothers!
All of the hedgehogs have to be fed (cat food) and cleaned out every day! There are 3 very cheeky juveniles that were hand reared!
At the centre, there are also lots of different animals! From swifts, sparrows and pigeons, to stoats, foxes and badgers!
The wildlife hospitals nationwide have such an important role in the preservation of the UK’s wildlife!
I would strongly recommend getting in touch with your local wildlife hospital and see if there is anything you can do to help! Even if it is just donating much needed newspapers for bedding, cat food or old towels!

Hey! My name is Izzy Fry, I am a 17 year old aspiring wildlife conservationist living in Wiltshire. During my free time I am always outside looking for wildlife and volunteering my time to local charities and organisations, for example I am a young ambassador for the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, working to engage new members, I take part in surveys and monitoring for the PTES, I am on the committee for my local Natural History Society and I also take part in the BTO bird ringing scheme!
I am currently at school studying Environmental Science, Geography and Biology for A Levels and my plans for after school are to take a gap year and travel the globe to gain new experience and knowledge working in different places before coming back to study wildlife conservation and ecology at uni.
I also love to share my photos and experiences on my social media pages and blogs to inspire and encourage a love for nature and wildlife in more people, especially young people!
