Hedgehog Recovery Project - Working together to understand and support hedgehogs -

The Hedgehog Recovery Project funded by the Lottery Community Fund is working with local ecologists from the RSPB and HogWatch on an initial phase of work to find out whether hedgehogs are present in Old Oak. 

Hedgehogs have been recorded in Ealing and Barnes. Through habitat improvement, monitoring and community engagement, we aim to create a safer, greener Old Oak for wildlife and people.

Our aims

Improve habitats — Create and enhance safe spaces for hedgehogs to feed, rest and move freely.

Monitor populations — Use camera traps and community recording to better understand local hedgehog activity.

Engage the community — Involve residents, schools and volunteers in practical conservation actions.

Build a wilder future — Make Old Oak a more wildlife-friendly place for generations to come.
