Dormice and the Wychwood Project

Julie Kerans our Ancient Habitats Programme Officer recently attended a Dormouse Ecology and Conservation training course in Cheddar. On this course Julie learnt how to handle dormice, how to identify them, and their habitat requirements.
Julie said “the dormice are true to their image and appeared very dozy and docile when held. It was joy to get up close and personal with the dormice and learn much more about this fascinating creature”.

One of the dormice examined on the course. This female was of course released happily back into the wild, none the worse for the experience.
