Hi MsDeakin

So, sorry no-one has replied earlier. I have a vague recollection that there was a primary school someone mentioned on the Forum, but not sure I would be able to find it again. If I do, I’ll put the link here. But I also think I’ve seen something similar on TV. I think it’s a brilliant idea and could work very well.

You might find it helpful to talk to someone at the BHPS or PTES Hedgehog Officer about it:
For general enquiries, email hedgehog@ptes.org

But I would think the most important thing is to have a bit of a wildlife garden with some good hedgehog habitat (and hopefully other good habitat nearby). Here are a few links which you might find useful:

Not sure whether feeding would work in your circumstances, or not, but:

And of course water is vitally important for hogs.

Footprint tunnels sounds a fun thing to do:

or you could use night cameras to see what visits.

Lots more links on: https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/help-hedgehogs/faqs/
As well as posters, leaflets, etc.

Hope it all works out well. Good luck. Would love to hear how you get on and, of course, there is usually someone happy to help on the Forum, if we can, should you have any questions.
