Where to Place Hedgehog Havens

To maximize impact, placement matters. Councils should consider:

• Quiet, shaded corners of parks or green spaces

• Near hedges, shrubs, or other natural cover

• Areas safe from traffic and high footfall

• Locations that are easily accessible for maintenance, but discreet for wildlife

Proper placement ensures that hedgehogs feel secure and protected, improving uptake and long-term success.
