Hedgehog Day takes place on the 2nd of February every year, a day to celebrate and raise awareness about these charming and unique creatures. Often overshadowed by its more famous counterpart, Groundhog Day, Hedgehog Day offers an opportunity to shine a light on hedgehogs, their habits, and the environmental challenges they face.

Hedgehogs are beloved for their distinctive appearance and beneficial role in gardens as pest controllers. However, they are facing numerous challenges, including habitat loss, road accidents, and environmental changes. Hedgehog Day encourages people to learn more about these nocturnal animals and how to protect them. Activities on this day range from educational workshops and wildlife garden creation to sharing tips on making our environments more hedgehog-friendly. It’s also a day for wildlife enthusiasts and families to engage in hedgehog-themed activities, spreading love and awareness for these prickly yet endearing animals.
