ASK Ref: 14369/HDO. http://powered.jobsgopublic.com/environment-agency/jobs Be hedgehog aware The Wildlife Trusts are asking people to look out for hiding hedgehogs before they light fires on Bonfire Night (Monday 5 November). At this time of year hedgehogs begin to look for places to hibernate and unlit bonfires make an ideal refuge. Hedgehogs numbers are in decline due to a loss of habitat, development pressures, possible loss of food sources due to intensive farming and the possible effects of slug pellets. Hedgehogs have recently joined the red squirrel and bottlenose dolphin on the UK Biodiversity Action Plan list of species in need of conservation and greater protection. The Wildlife Trusts advise people to help protect hedgehogs by following these guidelines when building a bonfire: • Build the bonfire as close to 5 November as possible so there's less chance of a hedgehog moving in;

Please mention CJS when applying (Page 9)

Countryside Jobs Service Weekly – www.countryside-jobs.com • Make your pile of material next to the bonfire site and re-build the stack before lighting it; • Search the bonfire for hibernating creatures using a torch and rake before starting the fire; • Move any hedgehogs found to a ready-made hedgehog box or somewhere dry and safe away from the fire; • Before Bonfire Night make an alternative hedgehog home by raking up grass cuttings or autumn leaves into a pile a safe distance from the fire. Hopefully sleepy ‘hogs will choose to snooze there instead of the bonfire. To a hedgehog looking for a place to sleep, an unlit bonfire is a ready made nest. Following the instructions above and checking any bonfires before lighting them only takes a minute to do but can save hundreds of hedgehogs from an unnecessary death.
