Do your bit for hedgehogs, urges charity

That’s the message from the British Hedgehog Preservation Society. The charity is asking people to do what they can to support the mammals. It issued the plea ahead of Hedgehog Awareness Week, which begins on Sunday, May 2. Fay Vass, for the society, said: “Our gardens take-up such a lot of habitat – by each making our own plot more hedgehog-friendly, we can improve a huge amount of environment for them. “If you don’t have a garden yourself, you can still help by contacting public space managers, neighbours, family and friends to ensure they are all doing their bit. “We urge everyone to become a ‘hedgehog champion’ for their area at Hedgehog Street – a project run by ourselves and partner the People’s Trust for Endangered Species. Join more than 93,000 champions by signing-up for free at hedgehogstreet.org – you will get an email each month with top tips on how you can help hedgehogs and there’s even an app you can download.”

If they are feeling threatened they will curl up into a ball. They can bite, they are wild animals who will try to protect themselves if they need to.
