Hedgehog Fence

One of our residents, whose home backs onto the woodland, has become the proud host of a nightly hedgehog family visit—including some adorable hoglets! The visits have become a bit of a local attraction, with neighbours stopping by to catch a glimpse. Recently, the rather large male hedgehog was spotted struggling to squeeze under the garden gate. Luckily, one of our operatives was passing by and kindly offered to help.

After assessing the situation, he suggested creating a dedicated entrance hole in the fence rather than trimming the bottom of the gate—a solution that would be safer and more effective for our prickly friend. We got in touch with the resident to arrange the job with Andy, and she was absolutely thrilled. Andy carried out the work and the new hedgehog entrance has already made a big difference. The resident was delighted with the thoughtful approach, and we’re happy to have helped make life a little easier for our local wildlife.
