They carried out a survey last year where over 45,000 hedgehogs were reported across the UK and they are repeating the survey this year and are appealing for your help.
Here at the GSPCA we see hundreds of sick and injured hedgehogs every year and surveys like these help with confirming that the efforts of rehabilitation centres like ourselves really do make a difference.

This time of year we are all out and about tidying the garden and the GSPCA would like to remind everyone to take care of those hedgehogs that may be in the undergrowth. please click here for advice and details.
Annabelle Janes Animal Care Assistant and one of the main carers of the hedgehogs at the Shelter said 'It would be great to get lots of hedgehog champions here in Guernsey.'
'Knowing how hedgehogs are doing in the wild is really important and helps us know that all are efforts are helping make a difference.'
'If you see any of our hedgehogs in the wild you can tell as they have purple paint and plastic numbered and coloured tags and we would love to hear from you if you do see them.'
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'The more data the Hedgehog Street can get then a better picture can be drawn on how hedgehogs are doing in the wild.'
'We have been in touch with them and they would love to hear how Guernsey hedgehogs are doing.'
'Something that can help and is a fantastic bit of kit is a wildlife camera which are quite reasonable from places like Amazon.'
'We would love to know that there are Hedgehog Champions all around the Bailiwick sending details through to Hedgehog Street.'
