US EditionSimple Thing Everyone with a Garden Can Do to Help Hedgehogs in the Summer
SOUTHEND, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 15 – The council plans to offer grants and work with wildlife groups to improve hedgehog habitats as rural populations have dropped by up to 75% since 2000, officials said.
- The ‘Go WILD for Hedgehogs’ campaign launched this summer asks UK residents to leave a wild, undisturbed patch in their garden to support hedgehogs.
- This campaign follows the 2022 State of Britain’s Hedgehogs report revealing rural populations have declined by 30-75% since 2000 while urban numbers may be recovering thanks to public involvement.
- Councils like Southend plan hedgehog-friendly infrastructure, including access holes in fencing to reduce fatalities and aid movement between gardens.
- Hedgehog Street has mobilized 130,000 volunteer champions, and Grace Johnson highlighted that creating wild patches is an effective, low-cost, and easy method to support hedgehog populations.
- These efforts aim to improve hedgehog habitat and connectivity, which may also benefit other wildlife affected by loss of wild areas and resources.
