About us

Welcome to garden wildlife watch

We are a research project based at the University of Reading, run by PhD student Isabella Clark and Dr Philip Baker. 

We are interested in exploring how hedgehogs are exposed to rodenticides. Hedgehogs have declined severely in recent decades, and so understanding the risks they face is vital for their conservation. 

To do this, we are running a series of projects which rely on the help of you, members of the public, to help us collect vital data to understand the challenges hedgehogs face in urban and suburban gardens.

By working together, we can find more wildlife-friendly approaches and help protect hedgehogs that are in decline.
