Hello everyone, how are you all? Well, I hope. This week is dedicated to hedgehogs, they are just starting to emerge from their Winter hibernation and need all the help they can get. Take a look at the following video on ways you can help them. |
Next week is Hedgehog Awareness Week 2021. The initiative was set up by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) as an annual event, and is a whole week dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness of hedgehogs, so keep an eye on BHPS social media pages for competitions, tips, pictures and videos. You can get also get involved by sharing photos and stories with #HedgehogWeek. You can find out more about Hedgehog Street and become a champion for hedgehogs at www.hedgehogstreet.org
Here are some tips to help keep other wildlife and domesticated animals away from food you put out for hedgehogs https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/cat-proof-hedgehog-food/
If you have a handyman or woman in the house, a video showing you how to build a hedgehog house will be out on Wednesday this week and you can check them out on our website at https://www.yvonnejrichards.com/right-sidebar/ or on our Facebook page /pricklyhedge.
On Friday, we have a gorgeous craft item for #fridaycraftmorning to make a gorgeous hedgehog, it’s the most realistically looking one I’ve seen in a long time.
Again, you can check that out on the Facebook page on Friday.
In the UK, we may be a step nearer to being out of lockdown on May 17th, so that’s something to look forward to. In the meantime, I hope you’ll be able to get out and about and see if you see any of the gorgeous woods that will be chock full of bluebells this month.
Don’t forget that on our website, you’ll also find a round-up of environmental news on our How To’s page, https://www.yvonnejrichards.com/right-sidebar/
 As ever, if you make anything, drop a picture on the Facebook page, we’d love to see them.
I hope you have a great week and until next time, stay safe, stay well and don’t forget to let us know if you make any of our craft items.
