A Norfolk village is hoping residents will be wild about a new idea.
Hethersett is looking to obtain Wildlife Status and the parish council is asking people to get behind the idea.
Council member Bridget Williamson is behind the scheme, which is designed to help protect wildlife.
She said: The felling of hedgerows and trees means that local wildlife is being chased from pillar to post with nowhere to go. We have a responsibility to keep as much habitat for flora and fauna and wildlife as we can.
