AN EVENT is being held in Callington to help people make their gardens safer for hedgehogs.

On Wednesday May 3 come and meet your local hedgehog carers and rehabilitators in Callington Town Hall from 9am until 12.

The event is being held as part of Hedgehog Awareness Week organised by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society which runs from April 30 until May 6 to highlight the problems hedgehogs face and how you can help them.

In the town hall come and find out how to help hedgehogs, what to feed them, how to attract them to your garden and what to do if you find a poorly hedgehog.
