While January is a time when many #hedgehogs are hibernating, it's a great time to let your garden go wild! Please #ShareToMakeAware! #WildlifeWednesday #Conservation #Wildlife #hedgehog

For many people visiting Stratford - upon - Avon #Warwickshire #Shakespeare is a significant pull factor but this beautiful town is a lot more than The Bard @tudor_world @StratButterfly @StratfordWalks @Stratforward @BellCourtLife What do you love about this town?

The Peacock #Butterfly is another species that hibernates during winter. They find a dark dry place like in a shed or garage, go to sleep, & wake up in spring 🦋 #butterflies #facts #fact

While butterflies are dying, harmful pesticides are set to be used across our landscapes yet again. This is the fifth year the use of these ‘emergency’ chemicals has been requested. Enough is enough. #ButterflyEmergency

By piling leaves up in a corner of your little green space, you'll create a place for hedgehogs and insects to hide and hibernate. More tips to help garden wildlife this autumn: bit.ly/2MmgdxJ 🍂 #gardening #nature #biodiversity
