Map your hedgehog hole
You can pledge to help by adding the location of your hedgehog hole to our map of the area.
How do I create a hole?
To open your garden up to hedgehogs we can make holes in or under our garden fences and walls for them to pass through. All it takes is a 13cm (5 inch) hole. This can be achieved by cutting a hole in a fence using a drill or jigsaw, removing a brick or drilling a hole in a wall using a core drill bit, or by digging a channel underneath a barrier.
Mark your hedgehog hole
Once you have a hole or gap made, be sure to mark it so that it doesn't get accidentally blocked in the future. The People's Trust for Endangered Species Shop has the ideal pre-made signs produced from recycled plastic.
What else can I do to help hedgehogs?
There are lots of ideas for encouraging hedgehogs and giving them the best chance of visiting your outside space on the How to help page.
