BHPS launches #HedgehogWeek appeal
The BHPS has launched its 2020 #HedgehogWeek appeal to raise funds for dwindling hedgehog populations.
Public urged to help dwindling hedgehog populations.

The British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) has launched its 2020 #HedgehogWeek appeal to raise money for and awareness of the UK's dwindling hedgehog populations.

The appeal forms part of Hedgehog Awareness Week (3-9 May), which is this year asking people to take the time to think about may they could help hedgehogs, from creating a log pile in their garden to offering shallow bowls of water.

BHPS chief executive Fay Vass said:  "With COVID-19 restrictions we are probably all spending more time in our own gardens and green spaces, so it’s an ideal time to make those areas better for our dwindling population of hedgehogs as well as doing something positive, safe at home."

For more information and to donate to the appeal, visit britishhedgehogs.org.uk
