2035The Last
Hedgehog?
Todaythere are believed to be fewer than one million hedgehogs in the UK.
Hedgehogs are
vulnerable to injury
by lawnmowers
and strimmers.
Our gardens have become very tidy with little space
for wildlife.
Thousands of
hedgehogs are killed
each year trying to
cross our busy roads.
Use of insecticides kills vital insects and removes an important food source for hedgehogs.
Impenetrable walls and fences stop hedgehogs using areas where they once happily lived.
We have lost 50%
of our hedgerows in
the last 60 years.
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust want to besure that this isn’t the end of the hedgehog’s story.
The UK’s first Hedgehog Improvement Area was launched in 2014 and it is based right here in Solihull. This pioneering project is working with your community to help save this struggling species.
A Road to Recovery
Make a hole in your garden fence so hedgehogs can roam between gardens.
Here’s a few things you can do to
help hedgehogs in your garden.
Encourage insects into
your garden.
A wild area will provide food and
shelter for hedgehogs throughout the year.
Create a log pile
to attract yummy
insects and provide
a safe place for hedgehogs to
hibernate in winter.
Find out more on our web site www.helpforhedgehogs.co.uk
Hedgehogs can
swim really well
but make sure
they can climb
out easily.
Avoid using chemicals in your garden allowing more insects for our hedgehogs
to eat.
Supported by the
Hedgehogs have been disappearing from our countryside, parks and gardens at an alarming rate. Just half a century ago they were a common sight after dark, but today we are lucky if we see any at all. Our environment has changed dramatically in that time and these changes have had a massive impact upon hedgehog populations across the UK. Hedgehogs are vanishing from gardens in Solihull where they had been regular visitors up until just 10 years ago. If we don’t act fast then we risk losing one of our most enigmatic and engaging species forever.
The last hedgehog in Solihull?
Adult hedgehogs
have between
five and six thousand
spines.
Did you know?
Baby hedgehogs are called hoglets, four or five
are born in each litter
