Skip the fake cobwebs this Halloween to keep wildlife safe

If you're decorating for Halloween, we have a small request: please skip the fake cobwebs if you are decorating outside, as they are a hazard for wildlife.

Birds can become trapped in them when they are spread across bushes, and if they end up on the ground they are a hazard to hedgehogs.

Let's keep everyone safe this Halloween. Thank you.

If you ever find a hedgehog in trouble, you can read our advice on what to do on our found a hedgehog page.
