Hedgehogs are disappearing from many parts of the countryside.
Lancashire Wildlife Trust has reported a significant decline in hedgehog sightings, with numbers down seven per cent compared to the previous year and a 33 per cent drop since 2022.
The decline is believed to be linked to habitat loss caused by building developments.
Lydia German, senior communications officer at Lancashire Wildlife Trust, said: "By recording where you have (or even where you haven’t) seen a hedgehog, you can help us to build up a fuller picture of how the population is faring across our region.
Got 2/3 Hodge podges in the garden, we put out food and water for them and they come every night. its been super fun to feed them.
