Hedgehogs are on the decline, and climate changes might be affecting the way they hibernate.
We have a large hedgehog population in Bradley Stoke, so if you see one from the 1st February onwards, the People’s Trust for Endangered Species and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society want to know.
Follow the link below for more information, and record any sightings:

There are also some great ideas on the website on how to help hedgehogs.
