‘Cull of the Wild: Killing in the Name of Conservation.’ My latest book is released into the wild on 28th March. Please track down a copy and join in the discussion about this challenging topic. Should we intervene? Should we kill? Are there alternatives?

A little town in Sweden - Tomelilla - is pioneering what it means to put Doughnut Economics into practice. This can be great inspiration for many towns and villages seeking to create a different kind of future... check out this article in today's Guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…

Destroy the Cult of Tidiness ... well, maybe some of it - strong opinion gets hit by nuance!! open.substack.com/pub/hughwarwic… @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @BBCSpringwatch @KeepBritainTidy @ODS_doinggood

Got to say - a pensioner with a carefully worded sign being arrested is kinda nuts!

Latest contribution @scribehound_gdn is all about @Prickles_Paws - who have given me the honour of asking me to be a patron! Unfortunately the article is behind a paywall, I think there is a special offer where you can get a month for a pound #hedgehog scribehound.com/gardening/envi…

We're going to be enjoying the memories from this year's Oxford Festival of the Arts until we're ready to welcome everyone back in 2026! Starting with this glorious concert and talk with @ORAsingers, @suzidigby, and Roderick Williams. 📷 by @hedgehoghugh

I find this an interesting juxtaposition of the application of and framing of laws … holding placards vs smashing stuff up!! Nonviolence vs violence. #PalastineAction #immigration #TwoTierPolicing

This is a bit of a departure ... #music, #kindness, #organs, #choirs ... not a #hedgehog in sight! #PlayLikeAGirl @annalapwood @MagdCollChoir @pembrokechoir @EricWhitacre open.substack.com/pub/hughwarwic…

IMPORTANT - new #hedgehog campaign launched today ... 'Go WILD for Hedgehogs' is a wonderful idea and encourages us to ease off on the gardening - a win:win really! change.org/p/help-save-br…

Oooh!! Discounted. And just as good as it was at full price!!

This was such an amazing evening - and not one single singer passed out in the heat!! Which upset the sweepstake we had set up!!

beautiful birds and beautiful photographs - it is a shame that one of the main threats many of them face comes animals humans have left on their once secure islands ... should we kill the mice and rats to save the birds? hive.co.uk/Product/Hugh-W…

I wrote about the raccoons of Berlin in my book 'Cull of the Wild' - an interesting case - should they be killed? Should there be a plan to exterminate them? For a broad overview on the ethics behind these decisions, track down a copy or have a listen! theguardian.com/environment/20…

I have written strongly in defence of the fox on @scribehound_gdn today - thanks to the Fox Project for help. @ChrisGPackham @BBCSpringwatch @HuntSabs @AnimalAid @DrBrianMay @HAwildlife scribehound.com/gardening/envi…
