HEDGEHOG ACTIVITY SHEET
1
Hedgehogs are Britain’s only spiny mammal and often live in a garden. They are nocturnal which means they
are active at night. As our environment changes hedgehogs find life more difficult so we need to help them
when we can.
You can find lots of information about hedgehogs on the internet. There are also some ideas on what you
could do to help at snuffles-rescue.com
There is also a letter you can download from the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.
