'The whole village loves hedgehogs'
People in part of a village in Nottinghamshire are delighted they've been crowned the winner of ‘Britain’s Biggest Hedgehog Street’ by wildlife charities. Residents on Dale Road, Keyworth, have 42 ‘Hedgehog Highways’ that link more than 30 gardens.
“Jenny told me about the national award and I put it out there and it captured a lot of the imaginations of lots of people. Hedgehogs are on the red list for being endangered, they need room to roam, they can roam up to a mile at night." Another resident on Dale Road, Hannah McRobert, told Nottinghamshire that the whole village loves hedgehogs. The 37-year-old who has lived on the street for six years said: “I think it’s great. I’m just not sure how it will work in my garden. It makes you feel like you have a community, our little road, in the whole of the country.
Jennifer Manning-Ohren, who set up Wild Things Keyworth and masterminded Keyworth’s ‘Hedgehog Street’, says: “Being crowned ‘Britain’s Biggest Hedgehog Street’ is really rewarding. Gill, Nick and I have been creating Highways around the village since July 2021, but hearing about this competition made us wonder if it were possible to get one whole street on board. Rachel has done some magnificent work to rally Dale Road. We’re delighted that our team effort has paid off.
