I was reading how low the Hedgehog population is getting and how two simple to achieve things in newly built properties and new fences could actually make a meaningful change to their fortunes. Hedgehog Highways. The need for small holes near the bases of fences and walls so these creatures can roam and find food and indeed, each other. They are good for gardens, eating pests like slugs after all. The other main ingredient is hibernation stations. Somewhere undisturbed with enough insulation and protection for them to hibernate when the weather is bad. We hear every year at this time of Hedgehogs being burned alive in bonfires, so making sure there are none before lighting one, and providing a bit of wilderness or custom made lodgings, so to speak is a good idea also.
OK end of commercial.
Hug a Hedgehog today.
However watch out for the fleas.... Brian
