Spotlight on UK Hedgehogs: Live Cameras and Urgent Conservation News
We love our UK hedgehogs and are excited to bring you live late-night cameras featuring regular visits from these prickly family favourites. Stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled for some adorable hedgehog action!
Hedgehog Numbers Plummet Across Britain
Sadly, hedgehog populations are in serious decline. The British Hedgehog Preservation Society reports urban hedgehog numbers have dropped by up to 30% since 2000. Rural populations have plunged by at least 50%. Why? Because their favourite habitats—hedgerows and woodlands—are disappearing fast.
How You Can Help Hedgehogs Thrive in Your Garden
Most folks don’t realise how to protect hedgehogs that choose to nest in urban gardens. Hedgehogs love thick vegetation for snuggling down. But gardeners unknowingly put them at risk when clearing leaf piles or compost heaps.
Simple tweaks can make a big difference. Leaving leaf piles undisturbed and creating safe spaces helps hedgehogs survive and thrive.
