After three hugely successful years of our Hedgehog Hibernation Survey, you have helped to collect 150,000 sightings of hedgehogs– one of the largest datasets in the world about hedgehog behaviour.

We have now analysed all the results to create a national picture, which will now guide further conservation action.

See how your region fared for hedgehogs and view our top ten recorders in our survey update.

Thank you to everyone who took part.
