The British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) has released its 74th newsletter to more than 11,000 supporters during Hedgehog Awareness Week, which runs from May 3 to 9.

The newsletter leads with the news Bovis Homes has pledged to create Hedgehog Highways in the gardens of their new builds whenever possible.

The small gaps in the bottom of fences and walls allow hedgehogs access to valuable habitat.

The newsletter reports the final donation from Hobsons Brewery, who donate £50 for every brew of their Old Prickly beer, has been made bringing the grand total raised over the course of seven years to £49,610.13!

The charity is asking people to consider what they might be able to do to help hedgehogs in their gardens during this period of lockdown.
