Dormice

We provide training courses.

We conduct scientific research.

For planning and development…..

We do surveys, reports, impact licences and mitigation.

We assess the potential for a site to support dormice.

We conduct follow up surveys:

• Searches for nuts opened in a manner characteristic of dormice.

• Nest-tube surveys.

• Searches for distinctive nests.

• Camera ‘trap’ surveys.

Mitigation may include avoiding impacts, habitat enhancement/creation, licensed sensitive site clearance and translocating individuals.
