The survey then runs for 5 days so we’ll need you to check the tunnels for us too! This is a great opportunity to learn more about these adorable creatures and support NTU in its 2021 submission to become a Hedgehog Friendly Campus.

Participants will be issued with a certificate stating they’ve taken part in Hedgehog Friendly Campus activities and a CV reference can be provided to indicate participation in supporting the initiative.

Sign up to the survey by registering via Eventbrite for either City Campus or Clifton Campus
