Hedgehogs: Essex
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions she has had with local authorities in Essex on improving a) urban and b) rural environments for hedgehogs.
Answered by Mary Creagh
This Government has supported Essex County Council to develop the Essex Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS). This has brought local authorities, communities, landowners and conservation groups together to agree priorities to help nature recover and support locally and nationally important species. Hedgehogs are a priority species in the Essex LNRS, and the strategy maps specific proposals for habitat creation and improvement to benefit hedgehogs.
