Irish Hedgehog Survey
The Irish Hedgehog Survey is a citizen science project by researchers in National University of Ireland, Galway with the National Biodiversity Data Centre. You can take part in in the project in a number of ways - by recording hedgehogs wherever you see them, by surveying your gardens for hedgehogs or by taking part in a questionnaire about hedgehogs on the farm. No special skills or knowledge are required to take part! The information provided will help enormously in monitoring hedgehog abundance and distribution in Ireland.
