AUTUMN may be the season of mellow fruitfulness, but it’s also when already endangered hedgehogs can fall foul of bonfire night and garden tidy-ups in leaf-strewn plots.
This half term sees Wild Hogs Hedgehog Rescue in Frampton-on-Severn staging a special workshop at Highfield Garden World in Whitminster.
On Wednesday, October 26, during 20-30 minute sessions, children will be able to decorate and take away their own Hedgehog Highway, as well as find out about what will encourage hedgehogs to visit your garden.
Hedgehogs travel around one mile in search of food and friends every night.
Sometimes their travel plans are interrupted by fences, and that puts their survival in jeopardy.
Putting a Hedgehog Highway into one of your fence panels can change that by providing a pathway to help them travel more safely from garden to garden.
See www.highfieldgardenworld.co.uk for more info, or call 01452 742269 to book a place.
£4 in advance, £5 on the day, with profits going to Wild Hogs Hedgehog Rescue.
