Hedgehogs play a vital role within our ecosystems, predating on pest species such as beetles and grubs, aerating the soil and dispersing seeds. They are a gardener’s best friend! Their presence is a good sign of a healthy environment. Hedgehogs live in a variety of habitats including woodland, farmland, parks and gardens. They can also thrive in urban areas.
