I’m Emma Kate Farley – the Little Silver Hedgehog – an ethical jeweller creating wildlife & nature jewellery.

I’m also a wildlife gardener and wild hedgehog expert creating a wildlife haven in the Yorkshire Wolds. My aim is to inspire you to take action to help wildlife in your own green space.

My jewellery raises vital funds to support my wildlife work – helping our dwindling hedgehog population. This site is packed with information about helping wild hedgehogs and wildlife gardening as well as my wildlife jewellery designs.

P.S I’ve been on BBC 1, The Telegraph and the Daily Mail after a Chinese company copied my hedgehog jewellery design and used my own images to promote it. I recently featured on BBC Rip Off Britain in January 2026 and other media after another of my nature designs was stolen and copied.

Hedgehog drinking bowl

Water for wildlife! Water is a lifesaver in this hot Summer weather. Without enough water, hedgehog mums can’t produce enough milk, leading to hoglets being orphaned. Please leave out plenty of bowls of water and remember to clean the bowls regularly.


Creating a wildlife haven in the Yorkshire Wolds. Find out more about our project to create a wildflower meadow and drought tolerant wildlife friendly gravel garden. Our next open garden is on Saturday 11 July.


I’m also a freelance marketing and PR consultant working with charities and SMEs to deliver marketing that makes a difference. I can also help your charity or community project with marketing, interpretation and fundraising.
