Hedgehog Houses
A Simple, High-Impact Biodiversity Project for Local Councils
Hedgehogs are now Vulnerable to Extinction in Great Britain. Local councils have a vital role to play — and a clear opportunity to deliver visible, community-led biodiversity action with minimal officer time.
Hedgehog Haven is a complete, ready-to-implement project designed specifically for town, parish, and community councils.
