So far, the team has set up a working group with key members of staff, met with the Grounds Team to improve hedgehog safety and organised a stall during Go Green Week to raise awareness and fundraise for the BHPS. Next steps are litter picks, a social media campaign and celebrating Hedgehog Awareness Week.<\/p>\n<p>One of the Grounds Team Gardeners, Colin, and the Arborists have done a great job making a hedgehog house from some fallen timber on the grounds. The house will offer a hibernation site that is safer from predators in the winter and can also be used as a nesting box for a mother and her hoglets in the warmer months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134029-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2851\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134029-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134029-scaled-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134029-scaled-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134029-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134029-scaled-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134029-scaled-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134012-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2849\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134012-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134012-scaled-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134012-scaled-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134012-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134012-scaled-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/20230425_134012-scaled-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How you can help hedgehogs:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/885D0578-2D6E-4D92-BB70-C3789FE23765.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2853\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/885D0578-2D6E-4D92-BB70-C3789FE23765.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"828\" height=\"828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/885D0578-2D6E-4D92-BB70-C3789FE23765.jpg 828w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/885D0578-2D6E-4D92-BB70-C3789FE23765-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/885D0578-2D6E-4D92-BB70-C3789FE23765-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/885D0578-2D6E-4D92-BB70-C3789FE23765-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/guide-to-helping-hedgehogs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2845\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/guide-to-helping-hedgehogs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1170\" height=\"1654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/guide-to-helping-hedgehogs.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/guide-to-helping-hedgehogs-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/guide-to-helping-hedgehogs-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/guide-to-helping-hedgehogs-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/05\/guide-to-helping-hedgehogs-1087x1536.jpg 1087w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Hedgehog Awareness Week &#8211;
