How to build a hedgehog highway
Hedgehogs roam up to two kilometres a night, and a solid fence is a wall to them. Cutting a gap is the cheapest conservation job you can do.
What you need
- Talk to your neighbours. One hole is not a highway.
- Cut a 13cm square gap at the base of the fence or dig a shallow channel under the gate.
- Keep the way clear. Trim back grass and leave a log pile nearby for shelter.
Our Hedgehog Highway Kit has gap signs for your neighbours and a log-pile starter. Every kit sold funds our care.
