Remember, remember wildlife on the fifth of November
Hedgehog / Tom Marshall

Watch our new animation, created by 15 year old Elmo Dunford and find out simple ways to keep your garden wildlife safe from bonfires this autumn.

  • Try to build your bonfire on the day, so that wildlife doesn’t have a chance to creep in. If you’ve already made yours, move it just before lighting to a clear area of the garden to allow any wildlife to move away.
  • Check and double check the pile before lighting using a torch and broom handles to lift the bonfire up. Listen carefully for any signs of life, any wildlife that is found should be moved to a sheltered location away from the bonfire.
  • Light the bonfire at one side rather than all around the base, so that wildlife has a chance to escape.
  • Don’t burn everything in your garden. Leave some logs and old leaves piled up elsewhere in the garden to give hedgehogs, frogs and toads an alternative winter home.
  • Make sure the bonfire is out and safe before leaving it.

If the worst happens and you find some injured wildlife, please contact a wildlife rescue service as soon as possible.
