We all love to welcome wildlife into our gardens. But while doing our best to make wildlife feel at home, there are also some surprising things we could be doing in our gardens that might be harming the wildlife we want to help. And more precisely, our native, protected hedgehogs.
Using harmful chemicals like slug pellets and pesticides is an obvious danger that most of us know to avoid, but there are plenty of other, less-obvious things we do that could be putting hedgehogs in harm’s way. From overzealous garden tidying and cleaning to using harmful plastics and netting, many of the simple garden tasks we do without thinking about them can be a danger to hedgehogs and even other creatures.
