Want a 'hog?

We are frequently contacted by people who want hedgehogs in their garden, we have produced a leaflet that will hopefully help answer if the area is suitable and if there is a chance a rehabilitator could use it as a release site.  The leaflet is called

Please remember NEVER move a wild hedgehog unless it is absolutely necessary, you could condemn a nest full of dependant young to death.
