Join the Irish Hedgehog Count

Hedgehogs are vanishing across Europe—and Ireland’s got a new citizen science mission to track them: the Great Big All-Ireland Hedgehog Count, kicking off June 8th. Researchers from Galway and Oxford, with Hedgehog Conservation Ireland, need YOU to spot and report sightings in gardens, parks, and green spaces after dark. These nocturnal critters are vital for controlling pests, but face threats from habitat loss, cars, and pesticides. Every sighting helps map their decline and turn backyards into wildlife havens. Join the count—your eyes could be the key to saving Ireland’s hedgehogs. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
