Hedgehogs are a vital part of the natural diversity of life and one of the Earth's oldest inhabitants. As common garden friends they are loved by adults and children alike, yet the effects of human disturbance pose an enormous threat to their existance. The Natural Hedgehog explores the hedgehog's lifestyle and its place in the ecosystem, and how you can help ensure its continued survival. Working as a team, Lenni Sykes and Jane Durrant provide a practical guide to helping hedgehogs, which includes advice on all aspects of hedgehog care, ranging from making your garden a safe haven for hedgehogs, to caring for sick and injured hedgehogs and treating them homeopathically, and then rehabilitating and releasing them safely back into the wild.
