Hedgehog Highway!

13th March 2023

Help us to create a Hedgehog Highway in Brixworth!

Brixworth Parish Council have 50 Hedgehog Highway surrounds from Hedgehogs R Us. If you would like one, free of charge, please visit The Info Point at Brixworth Community Centre & Library Building. They will be available on Mondays and Wednesdays, between 10am – 12noon from next Monday, 20th of March.

A Hedgehog Highway is a 5 inch gap in a fence or wall allowing access for Hedgehogs. These gaps are essential in the battle to prevent the extinction of our endangered spiky friends.

The Hedgehog Highway allows hedgehogs to:

* Forage for food

* Meet mates to breed

* Access nesting sites

Please note we are limiting these to one per household due to the limited number available. Available whilst stock lasts.

We are preparing to plant the third and final bit of our new village hedgerow in the Pocket Park off Eaglehurst. It is the third stretch of hedgrow sponsored by CPRE – the other two being the recent planting at St David’s park and The Ashway.

We are working with the Friends of Brixworth Country Park who have kindly agreed to help with their expertise and practical help, but we want to get even more of the community involved!

We have two dates we are looking for help on. Saturday 18th March for ground clearing, and Sunday 26th of March for planting. The group of volunteers will gather at 10am on both days.

If you can help support, or have any tools that you could loan, please contact Cllr Christine Ware, who will be happy to hear from you.
