Hazel dormice are now officially rare and vulnerable to extinction. The steady destruction and deterioration of the woodlands and hedgerows they rely on has left dormice isolated and exposed.
At PTES we run the National Dormouse Monitoring Programme which sees the careful reintroduction of dormice back to the wild where they previously thrived. It’s a programme PTES has been running since 1993 to turn around the dormouse decline. Watch as PTES and partners explain the reasons why we reintroduce dormice to specific areas and how it is helping to bolster the species.
