SUMMARY:Hedgehog Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:Hedgehog Awareness Week is running 3rd – 9th May 2026 – and this year\, you’re invited to take The Hedgehog Pledge ! \nFay Vass\, Chief Executive for BHPS\, said: “Hedgehog Week highlights the problems hedgehogs face in the UK – so we’ve created The Hedgehog Pledge with seven practical options to inspire everyone to act with hedgehogs in mind. \nPledge to:\n\nAdd more Hedgehog Highways!\n\n13cm x 13cm square gaps in boundary walls and fences ensure hedgehogs can access to vital habitat! Create more – talk to neighbours first! Once made\, log them at www.bighedgehogmap.org \n\nCreate\, improve or protect a wild space\n\nLog piles\, leaf heaps and wild edges attract natural food and offer shelter for hedgehogs. \n\nAlways check for hedgehogs before strimming\, mowing or hedge cutting\n\nMany hedgehogs are harmed or killed by garden machinery every year – simple checks before you start can save lives. \n\nGo totally organic in the garden or allotment\n\nPesticides and chemicals can harm wildlife and destroy the food chain. Embrace the wild instead! \n\nBe net savvy\n\nNetting can become tangled in hedgehog spines: make sure sports nets are put away and garden netting is raised 30cm off the ground so hedgehogs can safely pass underneath. \n\nProvide water for wildlife all year round!\n\nMake it part of your routine to check\, clean & refill water sources for hedgehogs in your garden or outside your workplace. Add a few pebbles so bees and butterflies can perch and safely drink too. \n\nBecome an NHMP volunteer spotter!\n\nIn partnership with People’s Trust for Endangered Species\, BHPS leads the National Hedgehog Monitoring Programme\, surveying hedgehogs across the UK. Help classify images taken on specialist trail cameras from the comfort of home! Become a ‘spotter’! \n  \nFind out more here… https://www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/take-the-hedgehog-pledge-this-spring-sign-up-form/
