SUMMARY:Swift Recovery Project: Nest Box Installations
DESCRIPTION:The Swift Recovery Project now enters its most exciting phase: installing swift nest boxes across Haslemere\, Shottermill and Beacon Hill. Following February’s registration window and the March assessment visits\, our volunteer installation teams will be fitting boxes between 22 March and 16 April 2026\, just in time for the swifts’ return from Africa in early May. \n\n\n\nEach installation is carried out by trained volunteers who have donated their time\, skills and equipment to support the project. Boxes are fitted at second‑floor height or higher\, in sheltered positions with clear flight paths\, the conditions swifts need to safely access their nest holes at speed. Where appropriate\, streets will also receive swift callers\, which play attraction calls to help passing birds locate new nest sites. \n\n\n\nThis installation period is the culmination of months of community effort. Every box fitted is a new opportunity for swifts to breed\, helping to reverse decades of decline and bring their joyful summer “screaming parties” back to our skies. \n\n\n\nResidents who registered will be contacted with their installation date. Those on the waitlist will be notified if additional capacity becomes available. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we’re creating a network of safe\, permanent nesting places\, a legacy for Haslemere’s wildlife and future generations.

SUMMARY:Bats at Bedtime: The Sunset Survey
DESCRIPTION:The Sunset Survey\, run by the Bat Conservation Trust as part of the National Bat Monitoring Programme\, is a brilliant way to discover the bats and other nocturnal wildlife living alongside us. Taking place from April to October\, it’s designed for complete beginners as well as seasoned nature‑watchers\, and is perfect for families\, friends\, or anyone curious about the wildlife that wakes up when we wind down. \n\n\n\nAll you need to do is spend one hour from sunset (or an hour before sunrise) watching from your window\, balcony\, garden\, or local green space. Record any bats you see swooping overhead\, as well as other night‑time visitors such as foxes\, hedgehogs\, owls\, or moths. Once you’ve completed your hour\, simply submit your sightings to the Bat Conservation Trust to help build a national picture of how bats are faring across the UK. \n\n\n\nThe Sunset Survey is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to take part in citizen science\, no specialist equipment or prior experience needed. Just step outside\, look up\, and let the night unfold.

SUMMARY:Wildlife Gardening Gathering & The Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Haslemere Museum for a special evening dedicated to one of Britain’s most loved mammals: the hedgehog. We’re thrilled to welcome Dr Sophie Lund Rasmussen\, known internationally as “Dr Hedgehog”\, joining us on screen from her current research base. Sophie is one of Europe’s leading hedgehog researchers\, widely recognised for her pioneering studies into hedgehog behaviour and survival\, and familiar to many through her BBC appearances and warm\, engaging style. \n\n\n\nThe evening will explore simple\, practical steps to make your garden a safe haven for hedgehogs and other wildlife. You’ll also have the chance to meet fellow local nature enthusiasts over drinks and nibbles. \n\n\n\nGuests will be given an exclusive preview of the Haslemere Nature Recovery Strategy\, with an opportunity to share thoughts and help shape its direction and an update on the newly launched Swift Recovery Project. \n\n\n\nTickets are free but limited to 90 due to space\, so booking is essential via Eventbrite (link below).

SUMMARY:Hedgehog working group kick-off meeting
DESCRIPTION:The first meeting of the Hedgehog Project Core Group will bring together the volunteers who stepped forward at the inaugural workshop on the 11th August\, to help shape community action for hedgehogs in the area. This session will set the foundations for the project: agreeing how we communicate good hedgehog care\, how neighbourhood “Hedgehog Streets” might work\, how we measure impact\, and how we approach safe\, high‑quality houses and feeding stations. \n\n\n\nThe Core Group will also establish how it wants to work together\, meeting frequency\, roles\, and ways of involving wider volunteers\, so the project can grow with confidence and shared ownership. \n\n\n\nThis is a working session for the core group\, published here because it marks an important moment: the beginning of a community‑led hedgehog initiative supported by Haslemere Biodiversity.
