Create a hedgehog shelter in your garden by using a wooden box, natural materials, or even a purpose-built hedgehog house. Place it in a quiet, shaded area, such as under a hedge or bush, and ensure there’s an entrance large enough for a hedgehog but small enough to keep predators out. Leave piles of leaves or logs nearby to mimic their natural habitat and provide nesting materials. This will offer a safe space for hedgehogs to hibernate and raise their young.

Plant native flowers, shrubs, and trees to provide food and shelter for local wildlife. Installing bird feeders, insect hotels, and small ponds can further encourage biodiversity, creating a safe haven for pollinators, birds, and amphibians.

Stop using harmful chemicals in your garden, as they can poison beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife. Instead, adopt natural pest control methods, such as companion planting or encouraging predatory species like ladybirds and birds.
