HEDGEHoG STREET

Summer is the time of year when you are most likely to see hedgehogs in your garden. Avon Wildlife Trust Keynsham Group are asking if you would be willing to co-ordinate a “Hedgehog Street” with your neighbours. We have helped several streets in Keynsham to get together so far and we are looking for more suitable streets to get involved. We can help you with poster/ leaflet design and other ideas to help you interact with your neighbours. Plus, in conjunction with Keynsham Town Council, we are also giving away FREE Hedgehog Highway surrounds to connect gardens for these prickly visitors. A Hedgehog Highway is a 5-inch gap in a fence and is essential in the battle to prevent the extinction of our endangered spiky friends. Hedgehogs can travel up to 3km in one night. This gap allows them better access to forage for food and meet mates. A Highway surround also raises awareness of their plight and encourages others to take part. Just get in touch with us by e-mail keynshamawt@gmail.com for more information about the hedgehog highway surrounds and Hedgehog Street or visit our webpage www.keynshamawt.org.uk/hedgehogs
