Take part in the 2013 hedgehog survey

Help our local hedgehogs by taking part in the 2013 Hedgehog Hibernation Survey.

Hedgehog numbers in Britain are declining by three to five per cent – and the South East is one of the areas where the loss is most apparent, according to the results of a ten-year trend analysis by People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES).

To take part in the Hedgehog Hibernation Survey, you need to register before Friday 1st February.

Then, between 1st February and 31st August, record any hedgehog you see – dead or alive – and where it was. This information will help PTES to understand hedgehog emergence patterns and behaviour, and to target conservation plans to help them.

Thank you!
