In 2020, Hedgehogs were listed as 'vulnerable to extinction' on the UK Red List for Mammals. In the State of Britain's Hedgehog Report 2022, it was reported that in urban areas there may be a stable population of hedgehogs that might be recovering. This highlights the importance of local action to ensure the future of hedgehogs.

Thanks to funding from the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and support from ZSL London Hogwatch, we are thrilled to launch ‘Connecting Communities for South London’s Hedgehogs’. Through this new initiative, we are expanding the Mitcham Hedgehog Project into Grangewood Park to map local populations and encourage the creation of safe pathways for our spiky neighbours.
Whether you have a garden, a balcony, or simply love spending time in our local parks, there are plenty of ways you can get involved:
Survey your garden with a trail camera (Grangewood Park / Mitcham Common area)
Join local footprint surveys, talks, and community workshops
Help us map sightings across South London

Hedgehogs enhance not only the richness of our wildlife, but also uplift our mental well-being, reminding us of the beauty and interconnectedness of nature.
We can help each other, together!
