Garden Hedgehog Survey
If you know already that you have hedgehogs regularly visiting your garden, you can just complete the online survey form to tell us all about them.
If you would like to do a hedgehog survey in your garden, you can do so using a footprint tunnel or a trail camera for 7 nights in a row between the start of May and the end of September. The method is very simple and can be carried out by families, schools and even work places - as long as you have a garden to survey. You can take part in the survey, whether you think you have hedgehogs in your garden or not.
Instructions for making and using a foot print tunnel and surveying with a trail camera can be downloaded from the links below. There is also the link to submit your results via the quick online form.
The survey is now open for the 2024 season. If you are interested in taking part, please email the survey coordinator here
