What steps has the Welsh Government taken to raise awareness of what people can do to accomodate hedgehogs emerging this time of year?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 24/03/2023

Welsh Government works with and supports the Wales Biodiversity Partnership, who provide a wealth of information relating to how we can protect and support biodiversity including hedgehogs - https://www.biodiversitywales.org.uk/.

Through initiatives such as the Nature Networks and Local Places for Nature Programmes the Welsh Government is also supporting action to ensure our most precious habitats and species are given the chance to recover and thrive.  This programme also encourages community engagement which also helps raise awareness of biodiversity issues.
