Hedgehog Hotspots

When was the last time you saw a hedgehog?

Have you seen a hedgehog recently? Perhaps you've had some visitors to your own garden - or maybe it's been a while since you last saw one of our spiky friends? Either way, please let us know!

Now in its sixth year, we're conducting our hedgehog sightings survey again this autumn, and we want to gather as much information as we can about hedgehogs in Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.

Please keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks, and report any sightings via our survey below. Equally, if you don't see any hedgehogs, this is still valuable information to help us keep track of how our hogs are faring - just select the "Other" pin on the map. Thank you for taking part!

Our Hedgehog Hotspots survey is now closed for this year - thank you to everyone who shared their sightings with us! Please continue reporting your sightings to your local wildlife records centre - see below.

What if I've seen a sick or injured hedgehog?

If you've seen a sick or injured hedgehog, please take a look at our page below for advice on what to do next. Please bear in mind that we aren't an animal rescue charity, and we don't have the facilities to take in injured wildlife ourselves, so we are unable to help directly; however, the page below will direct you to a variety of brilliant local rescue and rehabilitation centres across our region who should be able to help.
