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.”

Farmers in the Yorkshire Dales are being hailed as conservationists, after helping to plant a six-mile continuous stretch of woodland and hedgerows to provide a habitat bridge or highway for native dormice.
The project is taking place in Wensleydale, a town famous for its cheese, and although farmers usually try to control rodent populations, the demise of the native dormouse saw many get involved in a three-year project to help reverse their decline.
