Take part in Hedgehog Awareness Week with us!
Hedgehog awareness week is from the 4th until the 10th of May
This campaign is run annually by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) who help to raise awareness of their sharp population decline.
On the 5th, we're doing a giveaway of 2 Hedgehog planters from our collection in collaboration with BHPS, so read on if you want to know more!
Their theme this year is "Give Hedgehogs the Edge" and they are encouraging people to make space for hedgehogs around the edges of their gardens and farmland where they find their food and places to sleep.
As it’s now officially springtime, hedgehogs are finally out of hibernation, so it’s more likely that they will be roaming in back gardens across the country, and there will also be new little hoglets being born! During this time, hedgehogs must be protected from the dangers that face them, be it strimmers, bonfires, loss of habitat, cars, or natural predators.
“Through our campaigns, advocacy and educational projects, we work to raise awareness of the practical steps we can take to help reverse the decline of hedgehogs in the wild, improve their welfare and safeguard the future of this much-loved animal. We also fund research that provides important new insights into the conservation and welfare of hedgehogs.”- BHPS
This is something close to my heart as I've personally looked after a few hedgehogs in need myself! You can read more about this in another blog post that I wrote about the whole ordeal. This experience is actually what inspired me to create my Hedgehog collection, so working with BHPS feels fitting for our business.
During Hedgehog Awareness Week, competitions are run on their X, Facebook, and Instagram channels, where they give away hedgehog-themed prizes from a different company each day. We're taking part again this year! So, on the day of the Hannah Turner Competition on the 5th, we have donated 2 Hedgehog Planters.
We’ve also gone a step further and decided to donate 20% of all our Hedgehog collection’s sales profits to BHPS for this week. If you've had your eye on our ceramic Hedgehog kitchen and homeware, now is a great chance to enter their competition or grab a design straight from us. You'll be helping BHPS continue their very necessary work of protecting Hedgehogs!
Give the British Hedgehog Preservation Society a follow on social media to keep up to date with their competitions from the 4th-10th of May. Read their handy article here on how to take care of an unwell hedgehog if you find one, it happens more often than you'd think!
