Hedgehogs and Bats

Hedgehogs love slugs and other pests, so positioning a Hedgehog House is a great way to attract a hedgehog into your garden and to help it survive the winter. Around 25% of hedgehogs do not survive the winter, so to help these beneficial creatures over-winter in your garden, position a hedgehog house. A hedgehog house will also protect hedgehogs from garden strimmers, forks and tools, pets and other predators such as badgers and foxes.

Bats have lost many roosts in recent years, so positioning a Bat Box will provide a roost for a variety of species such as Pippistrelle, Noctule, Leisler's, Natterer's, Daubentons and Brown Long-eared bats.
