The hedgehog rescue association was founded on October 01, 2021. Since then, we have rescued a large number of hedgehogs and unfortunately put some of them out of their misery, in collaboration with vets. We realized that after our start, we needed a professional and larger hedgehog sanctuary to save even more hedgehogs and relieve the local veterinary practices and clinics, which usually do not take in wild animals. This will become even more important after a hedgehog station in Oberentfelden was closed at the end of 2022 on the instructions of the veterinary office. We are now proud to announce that our professional hedgehog station has been successfully completed. In this regard, we have entrusted the management of the new station to a trained EFZ wildlife keeper to ensure professional operation. Piet Umiker, whose experience and unpaid work made the organization so professional in the first place, will take over the management. Our commitment is appreciated by the canton of Aargau/Solothurn, as they want to avoid forced closures like the one in Oberentfelden. We are proud to be a pioneer in hedgehog rescue in the region and to do our best to help the endangered hedgehogs and improve their living conditions. We are also committed to biodiversity by promoting native plants at the edge of the forest and giving talks at schools to raise awareness of wildlife conservation.
