Welcome to the Merseyside Urban Hedgehog Project.
European Hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) are declining in the UK. Although population numbers seem to recover in city areas (read the report here), we still know surprisingly little about the life of hedgehogs in cities and suburban habitats.
We want to understand how hedgehogs can survive around us, how urban areas affect them and what they need in their habitat to do well.
