Manx residents can carry out survey in own gardens
The Manx public is being urged to help tackle an invasive species causing problems for the local hedgehog population.
Flatworms eat earthworms, a food source for hedgehogs, as well as causing soil infertility and flooding.
The Manx Hedgehog Conservation Society has launched a survey for locals to conduct in their own outdoor spaces during lockdown.
Sandy from the charity says it can be an expensive issue to tackle:
Insurance companies still dealing with bill from 'challenging' Manannan sailing
Final costs of resolving injury and damage still awaited
Procurement process for 'Manx Care Record' begins
Part of efforts to bring clinical information into one system
'Unsettled' weather pattern expected over next week
Forecasters warn of 'muggy' conditions
Manx Care seeks new chair for 'highly visible and important' role
10-12 workdays per month expected
