New nationwide push to make garden fences with ‘Hedgehog Highways’ industry standard

Members of the public are being asked to help get a new hedgehog friendly fencing campaign rolling - in a bid to make garden fencing with ready-made ‘Hedgehog Highways’ available as industry standard.

Habitat fragmentation is one of the main issues affecting Britain’s hedgehogs, but 13cm square gaps in fences help to combat this prickly problem, campaign group Hedgehog Street says.
