OTHER NEWSFREEMAN HOMES PARTNERS W/ LOCAL CHILDREN’S AUTHOR Freeman Homes has teamed up with local children’s author and illustrator Helene Gardiner to inspire the next generation to protect one of the UK’s most-loved native mammals: the hedgehog. To mark Hedgehog Awareness Week, the regional housebuilder is hosting a series of interactive school readings of Helene Gardiner’s Hedgehog and the Fence at Oak Hill C of E Primary School in Alderton and Newnham St Peter’s C of E Primary School in Newnham-on-Severn. At both schools, pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will welcome Helene Gardiner, where she will read from her much-loved book, share insights into hedgehog behaviour and habitats, and lead an engaging discussion about how families and communities can help hedgehogs thrive. Each child taking part will receive a signed copy of the book, a bookmark, and a hedgehog care pack filled with practical advice on how to make gardens and shared outdoor spaces more wildlife-friendly, ensuring the learning continues well beyond the classroom. The initiative forms part of Freeman Homes’ wider commitment to connecting communities with nature, a core pillar of its sustainability framework and long-term Net Zero 2045 journey.At its Daylestone Park development in Alderton alone, Freeman Homes has integrated extensive wildlife-friendly features including hedgehog highways, specialist bird and bat boxes, wetlands, and thousands of new trees and plants.
