Welcome to Hogs on Film, or HOF!

The project where hedgehog lovers across the UK can contribute their daily data to science!

The Western European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is in decline across the UK and are now listed as “Vulnerable to extinction”. But what can we do to help them?

Lots goes on in our gardens after dark, usually unseen by sleeping humans.

There’s food to find, nests to build, mates to meet and hoglets to rear!

Hog-lovers feeding and supporting local populations from their own gardens can give us an insight into all these behaviours and more by providing their video footage and findings.

Join us as we watch our hogs on film!

Next study date:
April 7th - 11th 2025!
