Help our hedgehogs this Autumn
Autumn is a busy time in the garden for wildlife, as hibernating creatures such as hedgehogs prepare for the winter months ahead. The People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) and British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) have together produced a free seasonal guide on how to make your autumn garden hedgehog-friendly.
In Britain, hedgehog populations have plummeted by a quarter in the last decade. Our once common garden friend is in serious trouble!
Help hedgehogs by taking part in Hedgehog Street and following the tips in the A-Z Guide to helping hedgehogs in Autumn.

Chester Zoo on TV - Wednesday 3rd September
First showing at 9pm on Wednesday 3 September, Our Zoo, is a six-part BBC drama following the inspiring story of Chester Zoo's founder George Mottershead and his family in the 1930s.
With incredible single-mindedness, George Mottershead drove himself and his family to realise his ambition to transform a ramshackle house on the outskirts of Chester into a unique visitor attraction that would change forever the way zoos kept animals.
The drama follows George’s inspiring and challenging journey as he moves his wife, two young daughters and parents - along with a monkey and a parrot - into a draughty old stately home. With a derelict plot of land, mounting debts, no resources or manpower and a concerted campaign from the local villagers to halt George's plans entirely.
It’s a race against time for the Mottersheads to build and open their zoo before the harsh winter sets in - or the bailiffs arrive.
