Chiswick Hedgehogs are still in need of access to your garden to help them survive. Hedgehogs travel over a mile each night to find food, a mate and shelter. As we put up more fences, cut back on shrubs and hedging, suitable habitat is becoming more difficult to find for these harmless animals that are actually a gardener’s friend, as they munch through many garden pests.
Thanks to Chiswick Horticultural Society and National Philanthropic Trust (UK), we have funding that has enabled us to replenish our drill bits and our hedgehog higways signs to keep drilling hedgehog highways across Chiswick.

We do need your help to do this! Sadly, responses to our calls for hedgehog highways has tapered off.
Meantime, the hedgehogs in Chiswick are being sighted in areas we were not aware of before! Areas around Dukes Meadow now have hedgehogs.
We are therefore very keen to keep this campaign and our hedgehog highway creation going.
If you would like a small 13cm hole in your fence or wall for hedgehogs, please contact us: hogs@wildchiswick.com
It really is down to you to help this lovely creature, vulnerable to extinction, to survive.
Please help by joining the Chiswick Hedgehog Highways network.
