Uist Nature Project

The first part of an ambitious project to save wildlife in Uist has been awarded £97,840 from the Nature Restoration Fund for the development of a pioneering strategy to move European Hedgehogs Erinaceus europaeus to the Scottish Mainland, as part of the Saving Uist Nature project (www.rspb.org.uk/media-centre/saving-uist-nature). This funding will support a critical part of the project, which seeks to remove invasive European Hedgehogs from Benbecula through humane live capture and translocation.
