Hedgehogs are one of the UK’s most-loved species, but populations are declining at a rapid rate. They face a number of threats including changes in the way we manage built-up areas, increased traffic on our roads and intensive farming practices. Gardens, parks and other green spaces can provide great habitats for hedgehogs. This means we all have the opportunity to offer hedgehogs a helping hand.
