Have you heard about #GoWildForHedgehogs? 🦔

It`s all about championing the wild patch; a section of your garden given back to nature 💚

Michael’s wild Norfolk garden features a log pile and fern to provide cover. After adding a few plants and features, Michael has left the garden to nature and says it’s ‘alive with insects’ – the hedgehogs will thank you!

#HedgehogStreet is jointly run by us & @ptes_org

📢 New study published 📢

Road traffic is having a devastating impact on Britain`s hedgehog populations.

A new study, funded by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) and @ptes_org, has found that road traffic kills 15–29% of hedgehogs in some local populations every year and is responsible for 38–41% of all recorded hedgehog deaths.

The research, led by conservation scientists at @nottinghamtrentuni indicates that this level of mortality could push smaller, already vulnerable populations towards collapse and local extinction.
