Help protect wildlife during the bonfire celebrations

1. Erect a wire mesh fence around your bonfire if building it in advance of your event to stop hedgehogs and other animals getting inside.

2. Move and rebuild your bonfire if it has not been protected by wire mesh the same day your intend to light it to ensure nothing is inside.

3. Light only one side of your bonfire to ensure that any animals or birds inside can escape out the far side of the bonfire, rather than cutting off their escape route and lighting it on all sides.
