Build a Hedgehog House

As the name implies this is a house for the hedgehog to hibernate in over the winter months. Therefore you should think about it as a project for Sept/ Oct/ Nov. It is so, so simple.
​
At the very least you could provide piles of logs and leaves. For leaf pile instructions click here and for log pile instructions click here.

However, you could also build a hedgehog hibernaculum. Click here to view instructions for a range of simple house plans from a UK conservation charity called Hedgehog Street. This also contains more detailed instructions if your hedgehog needs to trade up to a larger house in the future!
