A new @NottmTrentUni study hopes to support hedgehog conservation by harnessing the combined potential of personal trail cameras in people’s gardens.

Mice to meet you! 🐭
Mice play a key role in the natural environment; from distributing plant seeds to being prey for animals like owls and foxes. Learn all about the 4 species you can see in the UK 👉 wildlifetrusts.org/blog/gues…

During cold weather snaps, make sure garden #wildlife like #hedgehogs have fresh, unfrozen water available!
🦔💧❄️
Add shallow dishes of water to gardens all year round, with a few pebbles so insects & small birds can safely perch for a drink too!

Nature is not a blocker to growth.
The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has claimed that 'The balance has gone too far in the direction of always protecting every bat and every newt.' But how can this statement be true when the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world?

Did you know...?
There are very few British animals that hibernate?
#Hedgehogs🦔 famously enter #hibernation when the temperature drops & remains low - but bats 🦇 & dormice 🐭 also use this clever winter survival technique!

But there are many ways we can all help. Here's how to make your garden #hedgehog friendly:
🍃Leave small gaps in fences for easy movement between gardens.
🪵 Create shelter using log piles or hedgehog houses.
⚠️ Skip the pesticides.
