Cornwall Mammal Group

Not much is known about the Cornish hedgehog population For the last few years, we have aimed to collaborate with other environmental and wildlife groups in Cornwall to change this.

 

 

What can you do?

 

• If you see a hedgehog, record your sighting using The Mammal Society's Mammal Tracker app ​or to your local biological record centre

 

• Take advice from the Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Rescue for advice on how to attract hogs to your garden and what to do if you find a hog in need of help

​

CMG are collaborating with Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Devon Mammal Group to use cameras to survey hedgehogs as part of the People’s Trust for Endangered Species National Hedgehog Monitoring Programme. The Programme is intended to repeat at the same sites every year. You can find out more at https://ptes.org/campaigns/hedgehogs/nhmp/ or contact us to learn how you can get involved in Cornwall.
