Adopt a hedgehog

Help Ulster Wildlife protect our prickly friends - who are under threat from habitat loss, agricultural intensification, land development, slug pellet use and increased road traffic.

Adopt a wild friend today

By adopting a hedgehog today you are helping make sure their future is secure. Ulster Wildlife restores habitats for hedgehogs and other wildlife, on our nature reserves; over the coming year we plan on increasing our baseline knowledge of their numbers in Northern Ireland, through annual surveys in conjunction with the Irish Hedgehog Survey; we also provide the public with information, support and advice on helping hedgehogs in our neighbourhoods. Your adoption will help us achieve all of these things. Find out more about our conservation work
