Hedgehog Street

We want to make sure the hedgehog, the UK’s only spiny mammal, remains a common and familiar part of British life.

We know hedgehogs are in trouble. We’ve lost a third of all our hedgehogs since the millenium.

Hedgehogs love gardens, and fortunately there are around half a million hectares of garden in the UK. We know what hedgehogs need to survive in gardens.

Hedgehogs need access to lots of gardens to survive, so we are encouraging everyone to cooperate.

Our Hedgehog Champions

That’s where you come in. More than 60,000 Hedgehog Champions are registered on this website, forming a vibrant and enthusiastic community. Champions help us make a real difference for hedgehogs all over the country.
