Hedgehogs used to be a familiar and well-loved visitor to our gardens, but the population here in the UK has declined by a startling 95%, since the 1950s.
Gardens account for approximately 521,872 hectares of land in the UK. By checking bonfires in autumn, gardening in a wildlife-friendly way and increasing garden connectivity, we can help hedgehogs to move around safely and find safe spaces to hibernate.
