Hedgehogs have declined dramatically in recent decades and are considered vulnerable. Wildlife Trusts across the UK are working hard to turn things around.

The Wildlife Trusts are working to help species pushed close to extinction and to reintroduce missing keystone species.

We all love hedgehogs, but climate change, habitat loss and pollution are all big threats to the species, and unless we act, hedgehogs could eventually go extinct. To draw attention to this prickly fact, we’ve teamed up with local people to place 50 hedgehog sculptures around Epsom and Ewell. We want to help people imagine a world where hedgehogs have bounced back to their former glory!

What to do if you spot a hedgehog out in daylight, how to check your bonfire for hedgehogs and how to create a hedgehog house in your garden.
