Love Hedgehogs Notebook

Love Hedgehogs, Be A Wild Gardener! Features a photo of our wild hedgehog. Our garden has recently become home to one of these gorgeous creatures and we are so happy! They are becoming very rare and they need our help now! The beautiful, inquisitive and just plain cute hedgehog is in rapid decline. Every one of us can help stop its extinction by doing a little to help. Make a patch in the garden "wild", let the grass grow a bit longer, make a small -or large - undisturbed woodpile, gather leaves and pile them up or just leave the leaves where they fall in borders. Provide a dish of clean water. Make accessible holes in fences so Hedgehogs can roam. Check any bonfires for hogs before you light them and check your garden before doing any deadly strimming. You may be rewarded with a wild Hedgehog or two!
