Hedgehog Accommodations

Vivara Pro’s hedgehog accommodations provide practical, easy to use, and durable shelter solutions for hedgehogs, supporting their conservation and integration into both urban and rural environments. These purpose-built shelters offer safe, dry, and thermally stable spaces for nesting, resting, and hibernation. Produced in-house, designed, and made in Europe, they combine ecological expertise, sustainable materials, and professional craftsmanship to deliver long-lasting, field-tested results for biodiversity enhancement.

Practical, durable shelters for hedgehogs

Developed in close collaboration with ecologists and wildlife specialists, Vivara Pro’s hedgehog accommodations are designed to meet the biological and behavioural needs of hedgehogs throughout the year.

• Practical and robust design suitable for gardens, parks, nature corridors, and green infrastructure projects.
• Easy to use and install — can be placed directly on or partially below ground level.
• Constructed from weather-resistant, sustainable materials such as woodstone (also known as woodcrete or wood concrete) for long-term performance in all UK climates.
• Provides secure, insulated protection from predators and environmental stressors during hibernation.

Each unit is field-tested to ensure effectiveness and durability, making it ideal for use in biodiversity initiatives, ecological mitigation projects, and community green space design.

Why provide hedgehog accommodations?

Hedgehogs are a valuable part of the UK’s natural ecosystem but have suffered significant population declines due to habitat fragmentation, modern landscaping, and loss of nesting areas. Installing Vivara Pro’s hedgehog accommodations helps to:

• Provide safe and suitable nesting and hibernation spaces for hedgehogs in managed landscapes.
• Support biodiversity net gain (BNG) and local nature recovery strategies.
• Encourage hedgehog presence in gardens, public parks, and other sites.

For urban planners, ecologists, and local authorities, these shelters offer a reliable, low-maintenance way to enhance local biodiversity and support protected species as part of sustainable design frameworks.

In-house design – made in Europe for quality and sustainability

All Vivara Pro hedgehog accommodations are developed and produced in-house and made in Europe, ensuring precision manufacturing, sustainable sourcing, and high environmental standards. Each unit is crafted from eco-friendly, durable materials designed to withstand years of outdoor exposure while maintaining ecological functionality. Local European production minimises the environmental footprint and ensures consistent availability for professional use.
