Support Us
Since our launch in 2016, we’ve been able to gain a better understanding of London’s hedgehog populations and implement conservation action to help halt their decline. Deploying 3770 Cameras across 130 Surveys in 21 Boroughs. This has only been possible because of our generous support from our funders.
However, there’s still so much work to be done, and more to learn about the threats they face to conserve them here in London. The decline of a species is a call to action for all of us. Help us continue our work by donating. Whatever you can give will make a real difference to these iconic and much-loved UK species.
Volunteer
Our work across various London Boroughs would not be possible without the help of numerous volunteers from community groups, residents, and societies. HogWatch is constantly undertaking camera trap surveys that involve large numbers of volunteers, providing the opportunity for members of the community to get out into nature and help wildlife local to them. Volunteers help us set up cameras in London’s parks and green spaces or their own garden!
Citizen Science
Our work combines citizen science data obtained from various external charities such as, NBN, GiGL and PTES. We have used this information to better understand hedgehog habitat use across the capital which can be found here.
We are currently collecting our own citizen science data through our Historical Hedgehog and Wildlife Survey, with the aim of understanding recent, present and past distributions of hedgehogs, foxes and badgers.
