Don’t Leave Halloween Pumpkins Out For Wildlife, Warns Forestry England

Plant Based News reports Forestry England has warned people against disposing of Halloween pumpkins by leaving them in the woods for wildlife.

When October 31 rolls around, social media users often encourage people to leave out leftover pumpkins for animals to eat. But doing so can make some animals, including hedgehogs, unwell.

Pumpkins are not naturally found in British woodlands and are not a normal part of the diet of native animals.
