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.
Our goal
Our goal
The project's goal is to identify where hedgehogs are present in the residential areas and green spaces around Mitcham Common. We aim to support hedgehogs in our area by uniting the community and local stakeholders while promoting conservation efforts. These efforts include citizen science surveys, the creation of hedgehog highways, and the development of hedgehog-friendly greenspaces.
These three positive actions could be a key element for the survival of hedgehogs in this area and we need your help!
