The Queen s Sandringham estate may scrap its use of electric fences to protect shrubs in the royal parks after warnings they can kill hedgehogs
Staff at the Norfolk estate recently put up a 75 yard stretch of electrified netting to stop newly-planted shrubs being nibbled by rabbits
The British Hedgehog Preservation Society contacted the estate to ask them to remove it
The fence was later taken down by estate staff although Royal officials said that it had only been installed as a temporary measure
A spokesman said: The Estate had a constructive conversation with the British Hedgehog Preservation Society on any use of temporary fencing in the future.
