We're gonna walk right through, to Hedgehog Avenue

Dale Road in Keyworth, UK, won an unusual award last year: the biggest Hedgehog Street in Britain.
🦔 Highway for hedgehogs... It all started when resident Jennifer Manning-Ohren encouraged other households on her street to drill holes in their concrete fences, so the critters could safely pass through.
- When they began to notice more and more hedghogs using the pathways, residents started setting out "pit stops" for them, with feed stations and houses for the species – which is in population decline across the UK.
