A special sign has been made to remember a much missed animal studies student.
Morgan Iddon, one of our Level 3 Animal Management students, tragically passed away earlier in the last academic year.
To honour her memory, she will now be remembered in one of the department’s ongoing habitat projects – making Myerscough’s Bilsborrow centre a ‘Hedgehog Friendly Campus’, for which recently, bronze accreditation was awarded.

The Hedgehog Friendly Campus scheme aims to raise awareness of the plight of hedgehog, while taking practical steps to improve habitats and circumstances for hedgehogs across university campuses. The Hedgehog Friendly Campus project is funded by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and runs nationally.
Myerscough College's main centre at Bilsborrow is officially a Hedgehog Friendly Campus. As part of this, students have worked together to create two new hedgehog homes, to assist the animals in their habitat.
In May, they received their grand opening.
Now, in honour of Morgan, one of the hedgehog houses bares a special name plaque offering a permanent way of remembering her.
The are currently two ‘resident’ hedgehogs on campus, ‘Lee’ and ‘Lottie’, and they’ve been joined recently by two ‘new recruits’, who appear to be enjoying their new environment.
