Hedgehog Hotspots

When was the last time you saw a hedgehog?

Have you seen a hedgehog recently? Perhaps you've had some visiting your garden, or maybe it's been a while since you last saw one? Either way, we'd like to know!

Now in its seventh 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 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!

Do you have any other information or context that you'd like to share? If you've taken part in our annual survey before, how does this year compare in terms of how many hedgehogs you've spotted?

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.
