BBC Two - Hugh's Wild West, Series 1, Episode 12

Hugh meets Beryl Casey, who has transformed her home into a hedgehog hospital.

In the last episode, Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall meets Beryl Casey, who has transformed her home into a hedgehog hospital, nursing sick and injured hogs back to health.

In the final episode, nature lover Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall pays tribute to the wildlife heroes who are protecting the West Country's creatures. He meets Beryl Casey, who has transformed her home into a hedgehog hospital, nursing sick and injured hogs back to health. The UK's hedgehog population has halved since the millennium so every animal counts, and Hugh helps return one of Beryl's patients to the wild.

Across the region, Hugh discovers volunteers working hard to safeguard their local wildlife - whether that is helping amorous toads to cross busy roads in the breeding season, keeping watch over precious gull nests or creating space for nature in a bustling caravan park. And one Somerset teenager, Mya Rose, is determined to recruit the next generation of wildlife guardians by enabling inner-city kids to get into the countryside.
