Take part in the ‘Irish Hedgehog Survey’

Last updated Jun 15, 2023

The Irish Hedgehog Survey is a citizen science initiative run by National University of Ireland, Galway researchers. The survey’s goal is to learn more about hedgehogs in Ireland and how they use urban and rural environments.

The general public may take part in the project by recording hedgehogs wherever they are seen. This summer, you should also look for hedgehogs in your garden. To participate, no specific skills or expertise are necessary. The data supplied will be extremely useful in monitoring hedgehog abundance and distribution in Ireland.
