The University of Greenwich signed on to become a Hedgehog Friendly Campus during May 2020, the 58th University across the country to do so.  This initiative will improve our awareness and conservation of hedgehogs across our campuses. Unfortunately since the turn of the century the UK hedgehog population has declined by 50% - some areas are levelling off but more can be done ( source UK Hedgehog Status 2018 Report).  As of 2020 the status is now vulnerable to extinction. 

To help in this national effort the University will help by raising donations where possible to the British Hedgehog Preservation Society. 

Founded in 1982 the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) offers help and advice to those with sick, injured or orphaned hedgehogs and maintains a list of rehabilitators in the UK. The BHPS is a registered UK Charity (number 1164542) dedicated to helping & protecting hedgehogs native to the UK (Erinaceus europaeus).
