Be aware that wildlife is never too far away from us. You don\u2019t have to see David Attenborough pop out from behind a rock to know that wildlife is close. There are wonders all around us.<\/p>\n

Check wild areas before strimming. Hedgehogs get horrible injuries from strimmer and often die in agony, which is a pity as their appetite for slugs makes them a great help to the gardener.<\/p>\n

Cover in unused cattle grids.<\/p>\n

Cut hedges before or after nesting season.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t use slug pellets, many birds and hedgehogs ingest the pellets or get secondary poisoning from ingesting slugs that have eaten pellets.<\/p>\n

Leave out a shallow bowl of water for wildlife. If possible, use collected fresh rainwater. (No shortage of that in this area of the country).<\/p>\n

Leave some of your land as wild areas to encourage wildlife. Although we love a manicured lawn, wildlife does not and they need all the help they can get. This does not have to be a large area. An overgrown grass margin would suffice.\n A corner with deadwood and leaves will also help.<\/p>\n

Clean your bird feeders regularly with disinfectant and then rinse with water to reduce the spread of disease.<\/p>\n

Help your local rehabbers by donating food or funds. We are voluntary, but still need money for food, shelter and transport.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
