Hedgehog Street Champion is go!

Local resident is starting to talk to her neighbours to try to make her street more hedgehog friendly

Bebhinn heard about the Really Wild Lockleaze Project, and emailed us saying she would like to volunteer. She has spotted Hedgehogs on her street, so we asked her to be our first Hedgehog Street Champion!

Bebhinn is trialling using the Hedgehog Preservation Society’s Hedgehog Street materials for us. She’s knocking her neighbours’ doors, and asking them if they are up for making small changes in their garden to make their street more friendly for their cute, spikey, little neighbours! 

She is using the Hedgehog street materials, which have very clear instructions on things people can do like checking before strimming, providing food, building a hedgehog home, building a log pile, making sure they can get under any fences, and stopping using slug pellets.

When Bebhinn and her neighbours have made changes to make their street hedgehog friendly, we will award them with a lovely ‘Hedgehog Friendly Street Sign.’
If you have hedgehogs on your street, and want to do what Bebhinn is doing, get in touch!
